The Edo chapter of the All Progressives Congress has criticized Godwin Obaseki (the state governor) over the recent train attack in the state.

Peter Igbinigie (party publicity secretary) released a statement stating that the Governor receives huge sums of money as security votes from the Federal government and wonders what he does with it. Part of the statement reads;

''It is saddening to experience this especially when we are still basking in the euphoria of the new year. However, this smack of the lack in the security apparatus in Edo State as been expected of the Chief Security Officer: Governor Godwin Obaseki.

We have severally demanded that the Governor should explain to Edo people, what he does with the humongous security vote he receives from the Federal Government monthly.

We are also not unaware that the Governor receives not less than N800m monthly to tackle insecurity in Edo State monthly.”
