Africa Press-Nigeria:
Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki is allegedly blackmailing teachers in the State to support his re-election campaign as canvassers or lose their salaries.
A source in the education sector told The Nation the ‘Edo Teachers Mega Rally for Obaseki”, scheduled to hold in Benin City, the Edo State capital on Thursday, is being stage-managed by the Obaseki campaign organisation to give the impression that teachers are in support of his re-election.
He said Governor Godwin Obaseki should leave Edo teachers alone because his Edo BEST educational policy has failed.
The source added the state has recorded the worst results in common entrance examinations under the Governor in the last three and half years.
A directive from the education authorities mandated all teachers to report at the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), the take-off point for the rally, with two passport photographs and permanent voters card (PVC) by 11.00am today.
