The former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has proceeded on a medical vacation.
The ex-governor’s Media Adviser, Crusoe Osagie, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He was however silent on his principal’s destination.
Obaseki handed over power to Senator Monday Okpenholo on Tuesday.
The ex-governor alleged on November 8 the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had perfected plans to arrest him at the end of his tenure.

He vowed to present himself to the commission because he had nothing to hide.
The statement read: “Following the completion of his second term, a former governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has proceeded on vacation to rest and undergo a medical check-up.
“Obaseki, once again, expressed his appreciation to God Almighty, the people of Edo State and Nigeria, for the opportunity to serve.
“He urged all Edo people both at home and in the Diaspora to continue to be hopeful and pray for the peace, progress, and prosperity of our state and Nigeria.”
