Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has made a startling revelation concerning his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.

Governor Okpebholo stated that the books had been withheld for nearly a year, denying Edo State students access to vital educational resources. This revelation has ignited widespread outrage, with critics labeling Obaseki’ s actions as both petty and vindictive. Many have condemned the move as prioritizing personal or political grievances over the welfare of students.
In response to the shocking revelation, Governor Okpebholo has directed the immediate distribution of the withheld books to students across the state. This decision has been widely praised as a much- needed corrective measure aimed at addressing the resource gap in the state’ s education sector. By taking swift action, Okpebholo has positioned himself as a leader focused on educational progress and student welfare.
The incident has reignited discussions about the politicization of education in Nigeria. Critics argue that education should remain apolitical, with all decisions and resources aimed at enhancing student learning outcomes rather than serving political agendas. The controversy has also drawn attention to the broader need for transparency and accountability in managing educational resources.
The revelation has sparked a heated debate on social media, with users expressing frustration over the politicization of critical resources like educational materials. Many have called for reforms to ensure that the distribution of educational tools is guided solely by the needs of students rather than political considerations.
As the situation unfolds, stakeholders are urging government officials to adopt a more student- centered approach in the education sector. Governor Okpebholo’ s decisive action has been welcomed as a positive step, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of prioritizing politics over education.
The students of Edo State, like their peers across Nigeria, deserve unimpeded access to resources that foster their growth and success, free from political interference.
