  • 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.”

While urging everyone to support the Governor, Hon. Ohonbamu, a former Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly noted that the governor need every one to succeed in his developmental plans for the state.

“It is now time for Edo people to put politics aside and join hands together with the elected governor, as affirmed by the Tribunal to develop the state, This is a man that is God sent to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people. He joined politics because of his passion to alleviate the plight of the people and when he became the Senator representing the Edo Central Senatorial District his footprints of achievements was every where. He provided the basic necessities of life for the people, such as water, roads and schools.

“This was the first time for the All Progressive Congress, APC to have a Senator in Edo Central since the inception of democracy in 1999 and it was obvious that this was a gift from God for the people because of his bold determination to change the narrative,” he noted.

Hon. Ohonbamu who further described Senator Monday Okpebholo as God intervention who was elevated from being a Senator to become the Governor of the state assured Edo people that Governor Okpebholo will do wonders and will perform more than the previous governors of the state.

“Senator Okpebholo was sworn in as Governor on the 12th of November and on the 13th he went to the bypass that the former governor Obaseki said was a federal road to inspect the bad portion and on the spot he gave a matching order to the contractor to return to work immediately. He also went to other places in the state on inspection and commissioned the construction of the first fly over bridge in the state, which has reached an advanced stage in barely a few months.

“Even before he became a Senator, Edo people can attest to the fact that he was a philanthropist who was always ready to meet the need and aspirations of the people as he gave motor bikes and other things to people, provided vehicles and support for the vigilante security in Esan land, helped the poor and did a lot for the people.

According to the Information and Communications Commissioner though, the Governor is a man that does not talk too much, but one thing that the people must know is that when he makes a promise, he is a man that keeps to his promise.

“What he has promised Edo people, he is going to do it. All he needs is the support and prayers of the people” the Commissioner added.
