Subject: Clarification on Recent Statements Regarding Sitting Allowances
We wish to clarify recent reports suggesting that the Edo State Transition Committee members nominated by APC and Governor- Elect , Senator Okpebholo, requested for sitting allowances from the state government and threatened to boycott meetings if such allowances were not paid. These assertions are completely unfounded and do not reflect the reality of the situation.
In fact, the committee held a cordial and very successful meeting at its inauguration. During this meeting, we collaboratively set out the agenda and methodology for our committee’s work. The atmosphere was constructive, and there was a mutual understanding that our collective efforts are dedicated to serving the best interests of the people of Edo.
We remain committed to our responsibilities and will continue to work together for the betterment of our community, with a focus on transparency and collaboration.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Chris Osa Nehikhare
Hon. Commissioner Communication & Orientation
Member Edo State Transition Committee.
