He also said that he will spend his last kobo backing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ripplesnigeria.com\/edo-oba-of-benin-meets-obaseki-ize-iyamu-ahead-of-election\/\">Ize-Iyamu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, clearly, Okunbo is investing in Ize-Iyamu with the treasury of Edo State in mind. This is the reason they want Governor Obaseki out of the way, so that he can grab the treasury of Edo State to service his outlandish lifestyle. Edo State will have nothing left in the treasury to pay pensioners, teachers and other government workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEdo people know that the return on Okunbo\u2019s investment in Ize-Iyamu is the entire Edo State\u2019s treasury. All the accusations of nonperformance he made against the governor in the interview are all lies, concocted to put the governor in bad light.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, on Monday warned that billionaire businessman, Captain Hosa Okunbo is supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the September 19 governorship election because he is interested in the treasury of the state.
