As the tenure of Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki winds down, a civil society organization, Social Defenders Advocacy (SDA), has called for full disclosure of the State’s financial dealings during his eight-year administration.

With less than a month before power transitions to the governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, the group is asking for detailed information on revenues received and expenditures made since Obaseki assumed office.

The SDA’s demand, formally made through a letter invoking the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), was addressed to Governor Obaseki and signed by the group’s Coordinator, Leftist Aimuae-Osa Igbinomwanhia, along with other members.

According to the SDA, this transparency is crucial to keeping the people of Edo State informed about how public funds were managed.
