  • The Edo State Government has debunked claims by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) alleging that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved N6 billion as compensation to so-called “Fulani terrorists” following the recent Uromi killings. In a strongly-worded statement on Thursday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Fred Itua, described the accusation as a reckless falsehood designed to incite ethnic conflict and destabilise the peace of Edo State. The controversy stems from the events of 28 March, when sixteen hunters from Kano State were killed in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi. In the aftermath, Governor Okpebholo visited Kano to sympathise with the families of the victims and appeal for calm, while a delegation from Kano later travelled to Edo to engage in peace discussions. IPOB, in a statement released on 21 April, alleged that the Governor had secretly approved a N6 billion compensation package to appease the bereaved families a claim which the Edo State Government swiftly dismissed as baseless and inflammatory. “There is no truth whatsoever in the claim that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved or paid N6 billion to any group,” Itua said. “This is a fictitious and malicious lie concocted by IPOB to sow seeds of discord and destabilise the harmony we have nurtured in Edo State.” The government warned that IPOB’s repeated attempts to manipulate public sentiment and incite ethnic hostility under the cover of activism would not succeed in Edo State. “It has become a known tactic of this proscribed group to exploit tragic situations to spread hate and misinformation,” the statement added. “Their agenda of violence and ethnic disintegration has no place here.” Emphasising its commitment to unity, security and justice for all residents, the Edo State Government reaffirmed its stance against any form of ethnic or religious discrimination. The statement also urged security agencies to investigate the source of the inciting publication and prosecute those behind it, stressing that public order and peace must not be jeopardised by dangerous propaganda. “We remain resolute in our commitment to justice, peace and the protection of all Edo people, regardless of background,” the government declared. “We will continue to uphold the values of unity, tolerance and truth in the face of reckless attempts to destabilise our state.”

Edo State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon Paul Ohonbamu in a statement in Benin City has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC has been receiving Prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in appreciation of the transformation of Edo State by Governor Monday Okpebholo.

The Commissioner noted that as the 2027 elections approach, the APC led by Senator Monday Okpebholo is taking the state to a greater height with the overwhelming support from members of the opposition political parties and other well meaning people in the state.

“It is expected that every well meaning Edo son and daughter should be concerned with the Political, Socio-economic development of the state at this crucial stage of the evolution of the state that has arisen from slumber.

He therefore urged every one to go on a door to door sensitization of their people across the three senatorial districts to ensure that the state benefits from the cordial relationship with the Federal Government built by Governor Okpebholo.

According to him, “the APC will dislodge other political parties with Governor Okpebholo at the helm as the 2027 elections draw closer, for continuity sake

“Let us give full support for the candidacy of President Bola Tinubu to bring more success to the state and the nation in general. We have confidence in the leadership of President Tinubu to bring more success to the state and the nation in general.”

The Commissioner added that with the unity that reigns in APC today in Edo State, it is an indication that the APC is ready for victory as the PDP is fading away. Before the 2027 elections history will not be sure PDP in Edo State ever existed.

His word, “let us continue to pray and support Senator Monday Okpebholo’s government which is resolute in its determination for a greater Edo as the challenges we see today, tomorrow we will see no more.”
