Managing Director of EDOGIS, Tony Ikpasaja, has been sacked by Edo governor Monday Okpebholo—Edo government says Ikpasaja was sacked in order to "restructure and reposition EDOGIS for optimal efficiency, improved service delivery and enhanced institutional performance".
We wonder what Okpebholo can restructure, where none of the MDAs in Edo have been restructured since Okpebholo came onboard—the governor has been busy fighting the same Obasek he has never met in his life, a former governor who is now busy building his business and profile at the global stage.
The sudden dismissal of Ikpasaja can be likened to a witch crying in the night, and the baby found dead by daybreak.
We are told Ikpasaja it was who misled Okpebholo to sign off revocation letter of PRESCO's land yesterday—Okpebholo, considering his educational deficiency and unwittingness ignorantly put pen to paper without reading or understanding the document—the poor governor did not even know what he was signing.
Under Okpebholo, EDOGIS has become a shadow of itself—poor, unhygienic, uninspiring and unable to deliver on its mandate of lands and property control in the State—Okpebholo's irregular signature has also contributed to EDOGIS' dysfunction—the only two C-of-Os the governor managed to sign as soon as he came onboard carried irregular signatures—ever since, EDOGIS never saw the light of day.
Whereas Ikpasaja's sack has been greeted with huge applauds, it is however noted that, intelligence is in short supply in Okpebholo's administration—that no matter your IQ, one may not succeed by virtue of working with an Okpebholo—except to draw salaries and other perks of office, there is nothing inspiring or spectacular in Okpebholo's government that anybody would really want to associate with it.
We advise Ikpasaja's potential replacement to approach the job as not a bitter politician, but as a professional charged to actually restructure the facility for improved service delivery and reposition EDOGIS in a higher height that Obaseki placed it, otherwise it will be another round of petty and unhygienic politicking that has become prevalent in Okpebholo's government, if Ikpasaja's replacement sees his appointment as a political compensation.
Once again, we congratulate PRESCO for this victory—decades of prestige, pride and service almost went down the drain following a governor's unattention to details and petty politicking.
