Six days to the end of the tenure of the incumbent Governor of Edo state, Mr Godwin Obaseki, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised an alarm, alleging a spike in the number of full time civil servants of the state.

This is as the Edo APC transition committee alleged that the Edo State government has been converting political appointees to full-time civil servants days to handing over to new administration.

A statement issued by a member of the transition committee, Kassim Afegbua claimed that the alleged move by the outgoing administration will overburden the incoming administration with huge recurrent expenditure.

The statement reads in part: “It has come to our notice….The governor has just commenced the process of absorbing another 152 aides to compound the problem. The interview is currently ongoing.

“This is …a huge disservice to the incoming administration of Senator Monday Okpebholo.

“We have repeatedly stated the position of the incoming administration that anybody who is wrongly recruited or surreptitiously absorbed into the civil service, with backdated appointment letters would be relieved of his or her responsibility.”

The New Diplomat reports that this is coming as the citizens of Edo State prepare for the inauguration of Monday Okpebholo as the next Governor of Edo State which is scheduled to take place on November 12, 2024.
