APC New Media Demands Governor Obaseki Account for Missing N1.2 Billion for Gelegele Sea Port

As the year draws to a close, the APC New Media Directorate is calling for Governor Godwin Obaseki to account for the N1.2 billion allocated for the Gelegele Sea Port in this year’s budget. This significant sum, intended to advance the long-delayed project, has yet to yield any tangible results, sparking concerns among Edo State residents.

Despite previous budgets allocating billions to the Gelegele Sea Port, the project has remained unrealized, with the latest N1.2 billion allocation showing no clear signs of progress. The APC New Media Directorate is questioning the whereabouts of this year’s funds and the governor’s justification for the ongoing stagnation of a project heavily funded and widely publicized.

Edo State residents are increasingly frustrated as resources appear to be diverted towards supporting political campaigns, particularly for gubernatorial candidate Asue Ighodalo, while critical infrastructure and public services continue to suffer.

The APC New Media Directorate is demanding clear answers from Governor Obaseki on the status of this year’s N1.2 billion allocation. They are calling for transparency and accountability in the administration’s handling of state funds and highlighting the urgent need for a government that genuinely addresses the needs of Edo’s citizens rather than prioritizing political ambitions.
