The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has taken a swipe on the state Comissioner for Information, Prince Kassim Afegbua for defending his boss, Governor Adams Oshiomhole concerning the plans to exchange dollars worth billions in the black market.
The State PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Osi Orbih had accused Oshiomhole of planning to sell the $75m world bank assisted loan at the black market at the rate of N325 to a dollar instead of the official rate of N199 which will make the governor up to N10bn.
The PDP expressed worry that the amount, the governor has allegedly planned to create chaos, possibly to buy votes and election officials in the coming governorship election.
In a Statement issued by the state Publicity Secretary, Chris Osa Nehikhare, the PDP described as infantile, uncivilised and culture, the manner Kassim responded to the allegation by the party Chairman.
Nehikhare said “Once again Prince Kassim Afegbua commissioner for information has brought his gutter language to bear. The mere fact that you come from a village called Okpella does not excuse your uncivilized and uncultured manner of responding to issues of grave concern to Edo people.
“The issues raised by Chief Dan Osi Orbih, state chairman of PDP Edo State are germane and as usual, Prince Kassim Afegbua, you completely failed to address them.
“For the purpose of clarity, Chief Dan Osi Orbih exposed your master, Governor Adams Oshiomholes’ grand evil and fraudulent plan to sell the $75m world bank assisted loan at the black market at the rate of N325 to the dollar and then make return/deposit at the official rate of N199 to the dollar. This criminal round tripping of the loan will make Governor Adams Oshiomhole a cool N10billion which he plans to use as a weapon of coercion and intimidation as we approach the governorship elections.
“As we speak, the accomplice commercial bank to be used for this fraud has released its private jet for the pleasure and use of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
“Edo people want responses and not infantile tantrums. Please grow up and behave your age.”
