Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged the Edo Governor-Elect, Monday Okpebholo, to stop quarrelling with Governor Godwin Obaseki and focus on governance.
News About Nigeria reports that the APC chieftain gave the admonition on Thursday when he received a delegation of Edo APC who came to the party secretariat in Abuja on a ‘thank you’ visit.
Following his victory at the poll, Okpebholo has been at loggerheads with the outgoing administration, whose officials he has repeatedly accused of looting public funds.
However, the APC national chairman has kicked against such a style of governance because a progressive government should not waste time engaging in unnecessary fights with its predecessor.
He charged the Governor-elect to focus on delivering his promises to the people of Edo State.
“You should not focus on the previous administration. Look forward, don’t look back and waste your time fighting the person you took over from. There is no need. A progressive government does not have time for that. Focus on the manifesto you painstakingly produced. Follow it to the letter with the socio-economic development of the people, build bridges, and establish good relationships with the stakeholders.
“Think forward and be an action governor. During the campaign, you were an action candidate, and now you are an action governor. We believe it. We believe you will succeed and make the people of our winning state proud. The party is ready to assist you in any way. But you must ensure that from the ward to the local government and state levels, all party offices are functional and physically habitable,” he added.
