In a press statement on Thursday, the Assistant State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Ofure Osehobo, said the state government was not sincere when it closed down the paper in June, promising to reopen it in July.
The statement read in part, “The APC Edo State chapter believes that Obaseki was being economical with the truth, when in June 2022, he closed down the Nigerian Observer and promised to reopen it in a month after restructuring it. Edo people thought the move was part of a reform process.
“The party can recall that in a statement, the secretary to his government, Osarodion Ogie, said, ‘The Edo State Government, in line with the reforms of the state-owned media organisations, has directed the closure of the Nigerian Observer newspaper for a period of one month, for re-organisation and re-launch of the media outfit.’
