The Edo State government has described the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a moribund political party.
The description was made while the state government was reacting to a press statement earlier made by the opposition party accusing it of reckless spending.
“It is ironic, if not downright insulting, that the PDP, a party whose years of misrule, monumental corruption, and gross incompetence left Edo State in ruins, now attempts to lecture the people on governance, accountability, and prudent spending.
“The same PDP that had every opportunity to transform Edo but instead chose to plunder its resources, destroy public trust, and mortgage the future of our people now pretends to be the conscience of the state.
“Edo people are neither fooled nor interested. Senator Monday Okpebholo’s administration is a government of action, purpose, and vision. The AI generated claims by the moribund PDP are false.”
The state government added that since assuming of office, Gov. Okpebholo has not embarked on any frivolous voyage.
“Every kobo spent on official engagements: local or international, is strategically aimed at forging partnerships, attracting investments, and securing opportunities that will yield long-term benefits for Edo people.

“Unlike the PDP era, where foreign trips were little more than shopping expeditions and family vacations for political office holders, officials of this government travel with clear objectives, measurable results, and an unwavering commitment to the people’s progress,” it asserted.
The state government stated that “the PDP’s talk of crumbling infrastructure’ is the height of hypocrisy. It was under their watch that Edo’s schools rotted, our roads collapsed, hospitals became death traps, and investments fled in droves.
“Today, the Okpebholo administration is steadily reversing those years of damage, rebuilding critical infrastructure, restoring investor confidence, and giving Edo people a State they can be proud of.
“Edo people remember vividly and reject resoundingly, the era of PDP’s reckless looting, fake promises, and endless propaganda.
“The 2024 elections were a clear referendum on their incompetence, and the people voted overwhelmingly for change. The PDP is a political relic, desperate to stay relevant through lies and manufactured outrage.”
