The Edo State Government has written to the Governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, to begin the formation of his transition team, which is expected to interface with the transition team of the outgoing administration.
In a letter dated October 10, 2024, the Secretary to the State Government, Joseph Eboigbe, said setting up the team would allow both parties to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that would ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.
Recall that in July 2024, the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, inaugurated a 20-member transition committee chaired by Joseph Eboigbe to pilot the smooth transition of power and knowledge to the next administration.
