  • 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.”

The Assistant Secretary of Castle of Legends Initiative, COLI, Dr. Alex Orukpe PhD  has called all oppositions in Esan land to unite and support Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State to make Esan people better and greater.

The appeal which was made in a statement in Ewatto, Esan South East Local Government Area urge all oppositions in Esan to play politics wisely and not to be extreme because they are brothers and sisters.

According to Dr. Orukpe, “Majority of Esan people fought for Esan Agenda, now we have it, what is needed from us is to make full use of the blessings, especially having Edo state Governor from Esan.

“During the home coming of the Governor, months ago at Ewatto, many of us were there, the father of the Esan People, Chief Leemon Agbonjiague IKPEA encouraged all Esan people to give him full support, so that we can experience the dividends of democracy as a people. He spoke as a father and has been doing his own part.

Dr. Orukpe stated that, “Currently, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo has been assisting our people with both State and Federal appointments. Those people should ensure they do well and be creative in the discharge of their offices. They should come up with latest Innovations which will encourage the Governor to do more.

“We must avoid denigrating His Excellency in anyways as it was done to Chief Tony Anenih. This is our time and we must manage it.
If you know any Federal Government Chief Executive position (DG, MD, ED, ES) that is expiring soon and there are Esan persons that are qualified kindly ensure the Governor is informed, or those close to him and if you can’t get access to any, do well to chat me up, so we could attract such position to Esan.

“Please, all oppositions in Esan should play politics wisely, don’t be extreme, we are brothers. Once again, those that have been appointed should bring best practices to their office and be innovative.”
