The Orhionmwon South Constituency Head Farmers Association has joined the clamour for the probe of the immediate past Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki.
In a press statement issued on Sunday by the group, and signed by the Coordinator, Godwin Erhahon and the Head Farmer, Larry Enobakhare, they urged Governor, Monday Okpebholo, to fastback the process of his planned probe of the series of injustices done to the poor and weak citizens of the state by his predecessor.
“We submit that failure to probe the defunct Obaseki’s administration will tantamount to sentencing the victims and their future generations to continuous poverty and suffering.

“May God protect our masses-friendly governor as he moves to rescue those of us who elected him based on his vow to rescue us from Obaseki’s exploitation, if elected.
“We, the farmers in Orhionmwon South, will not be happy with both Governor Okpebholo and our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) if he fails to return to us, our farmlands which former Governor Obaseki and his cronies forcefully and cunningly seized from us.
“This is so because we voted massively for the APC relying on the campaign vow by Senator Monday Okpebholo to return our land to us if we voted him.
“To renege on his vow after we have elected him will be an unforgettabl offence against us the poor farmers and our God,” the group said.
