She
stated that it is an abuse of public office, the judicial process and her human
rights for Governor Oshiomhole whom she stopped from taking a highly suspicious
N15 billion loan to make false allegations against her while hiding behind the
constitutional immunity granted state governors.
As recently confirmed by the Debt Management Office, professional analysis showed that Oshiomhole’s loan request which was based on using low interest World Bank loan to offset high interest commercial loans would have left Edo state with a heavy debt burden and the the state would have found it very difficult to pay back.
