Igbinedion University Was Built With Edo State Money – Oshiomole

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole on Thursday
accused Lucky Igbinedion, a former Governor of Edo
State of embezzling funds for the development of the
state. Oshiomole made the allegations at an event
organized to mark his 7th year anniversary as
Governor of Edo State in Benin-City.
According to Governor Oshiomole, the Igbinedion
University Okada, a private university owned by Sir
Gabriel Igbinedion, father of former Edo State
Governor Lucky Igbinedion, was built with Edo State
money.
“There are many files I am yet to open. I am not here
to probe the past, but if the past if preventing the
present…” Oshiomole said.
The Governor noted that he has terminated and
revoked all their contracts.
He decried the fact that the Igbinedion family
privatized the commonwealth of the Edo people by
collecting royalties on lands illegally.
He promised to further revoke all lands and private
properties illegally acquired by the Igbinedion family in
Edo State.
