  • 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 Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has shunned frivolities and he is executing a well planned programme of actions for the state.

Those who know and are aware of the processes and actions taken so far in government know that new things are beginning to happen under the watch of Governor Monday Okpebholo.

There are Machinery in place to revive the Edo Line transport service that used to be an identity for the state across the nation. The  offices are being created in some states and the buses have been  Commissioned

It will interest everyone to know that from the very first day the Governor stepped into government house, he exhibited a faithful commitment to the slogan, ‘Edo has Risen,’ because he is envisioning the Edo of his dream manifesting in the days ahead.

But, like every thing that must pass through a process, there is absolute need for the cooperation and understanding of everybody, as all the issues that need to be fixed will surely get the deserved attention at the appropriate time.

Edo people are advised to be patient as a lot have been achieved and many more are in the pipeline across the state.

The Governor is not unaware of the drainage problems across the state which leads to the flooding of some parts of the state when it rains. This no doubt will soon be a thing of the past.

However, what is obvious is the dogged determination of the Governor to fix the issues as soon as possible. For example there is now a Mobile Barracks in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area to curb the incessant harassment of farmers by gunmen in the communities.

The goal of Governor Okpebholo is to change the narrative and deliver the dividends of democracy across critical sectors and in six months he has no doubt given Edo people a glimpse of what to expect in the coming days, considering the driving energy he is deploying to ensure good governance.

More over, the ovation for Governor Okpebholo is getting louder by the day for his commitment to ensure transparency and accountability and rapid execution of strategic developmental projects that will be for the interest of all.

His relentless drive to sanitize the state of hoodlums who in the guise of cultists or criminals do not mean well for the state will not be compromised.

Along with his bold and daring steps to enhance peace and security of lives and property, the Governor is providing human capital and infrastructural development that will  transform Edo to the state of everybody’s dream.

Hon Paul Ohonbamu Esq.
Commissioner For Information and Communication
