The Edo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has warned Governor Monday Okpebholo against claiming credit for the construction of Temboga Road and other projects initiated by his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.

The State Publicity Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Chris Nehikhare, in a statement issued on Sunday criticized Okpebholo’s claim that his administration was flagging off the construction of the 7.5km Temboga Road.

He, however, urged Okpebholo to refrain from rewriting the accomplishments of Obaseki’s administration.
