Less than 48 hours before the handing over to the new government in Edo State, the camps of the outgoing governor, Godwin Obaseki and the incoming All Progressives Congress-led government have bickered over inauguration claims.

Obaseki, at the weekend, claimed that he was not invited to the inauguration of the government to which he would hand over.

He also alleged that the APC borrowed money to fund the inauguration, adding that the activities would cost the party between N2 and N5 billion Naira.

However, the APC described the claim that he was not invited as laughable and self-indicting.

The governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, also accused Obaseki of frustrating a peaceful transition of power ahead of his swearing-in on Tuesday.

There have been accusations and counter-accusations between the two camps since the September 21 election won by Okpebholo.
