Edo
State Governor Adams Oshiomhole ,yesterday, described as mischievous
and petty, the criticism by the state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
over plans by the state government to sell the Edo House in Lagos.
Oshiomhole, at Government House, Benin
City, insisted that government had perfected plans to sell the house so
as to use the proceeds to build a five-star hotel and also develop the
proposed Benin City business district, adding that the previous PDP
governments in the state abandoned the house which, according to him,
led to its current dilapidated state.
He said that contrary to PDP insinuation, the sale of the house would be transparent.
He said: “For us, we decided to
even advertise the sale but if it had been the PDP, they would not have
even advertised it. The PDP government sold all kinds of property in
Benin GRA.
We don’t have any guest house
because those property were sold. And none of them was advertised. One
of the PDP senators acquired a land there for less than one million
naira.”
