The No. 1 citizen of Edo State has vowed to reveal all the various fraud allegedly committed by former Governor Lucky Igbinedion and his father, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion.

That’s not all, the governor also promised to send all the documents of the alleged fraudulent acts to the relevant anti-graft agencies in Abuja for immediate arrest and trial of the powerful Igbinedion dynasty.

Besides, he reveled that the Igbinedion family are bitter with him because he cancelled the deal former Gov. Lucky Igbinedion signed with his father to allow the medical students of Igbinedion University use Edo State owned hospital for free while Chief Gabriel Igbinedion collects N1million from each student. He added that he equally revoked the 200,000 hectares of Edo State Government land the former governor gave to his father.

“Everybody born of a woman in this state must be subjected to the rule of law. I decree in the name of God, my creator, and in the interest of Edo people, even the ones yet unborn, I want to be remembered after my stewardship, not only for roads, for hospitals, for schools (but) much more importantly, I want to be remembered as the man who brought an end to exemptions.

“We provided the leadership that has banished the godfathers in Edo State. They can never, never forget that. I will publish records in black and white and Edo people will be told how they have been raped; they have murdered sleep. I went to Ovia North-East, Igbinedion covered all the government reserved land reserved for the people of Edo State.

“Lucky gave to his father over 200,000 hectares of land. They took the land on the grounds that they will use it for mechanised farming, I will say the truth and Igbinedion can do nothing; I can drive him out of town.”

“The angrier they are, the happier I am. With the powers vested in me as the governor, I used the powers to revoke the over 200,000 hectares of land the son gave to the father and returned it to government. That is why Igbinedion is fighting me; but I said (that) if he does not obey the law, he will go to prison. They were able to cover these things (but) Buhari is there now. So, it can never be business as usual.”
