The Government through the State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation Chris Nehikhare, while reacting to the opposition All Progressives Congress call for Ogie’s resignation said the call shows that neither the party nor it’s candidate can read.
Nehikhare said ,“they can’t read and their candidate can’t read, they should go and read the electoral law, it says 30 days before the election, it is obvious now the APC cannot read andtheir candidate cannot read, it is a party of clueless people, illiterates” Nehikhare said.
An earlier statement by the Acting State Chairman of the APC, Emperor Jarrett Tenebe said the action of Ogie to remain in office “is patently unacceptable and an affront to the good people of Edo State. As an unelected public officer, Mr Ogie is given an ultimatum to resign from government forthwith as his continuing stay in office is a clear violation of all known rules of decency and ethics. By remaining in office, while posing as running mate in the gubernatorial election, Mr. Ogie is also in violation of the public service rules which prohibit a public servant from using public resources to fund private purposes.” He said.
