  • 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.”

This was disclosed by Prof. Felix Orhiakhi, who is from the department of Political Science, Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State during a stakeholders Sensitization Workshop organized by the Ministry of Information and Communication in Benin City.

According to him, the activities of the Governor which would be for the benefit of all Edo Citizens should be acknowledged and supported by everyone, including the opposition political parties.

According to the University Don, the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo should be commended for keeping his campaign promises to make Edo people happy.

“There was a time when the relationship between the Government and traditional institution was in disarray, but Governor Okpebholo has restored harmony. The Ambrose Alli University, AAU Ekpoma has been turned around and we are very grateful for turning around the education sector in the state. The workers were not paid, but immediately Governor Okpebholo was sworn in, he has paid them and they are very happy with the government

Prof. Felix Orhiakhi, who developed a concept,  ‘Okpebholism’ for the governor’s willingness to deliver the state from disarray to harmony in a short time, advised that the Governor should not be discouraged, rather, the citizens should pray and support him to continue to do the good works he is doing across the state.

The Head of Service, HOS, Dr. Anthony Okungbowa, Esq. disclosed that since his assumption of office, November 12th, 2024 Governor Okpebholo has been intentionally concerned about the people of the state

The HOS who represented the Governor at the stakeholders workshop said it has been a splendid journey  so far, adding that, it was the next day the Governor assumed office that he started inspecting projects, hitting the ground running

” Such has been the pragmatism with which the Governor has governed the state. A desire to uplift the lives of the people and he is intentional about it,” he added.

The Commissioner of Information and Communication, Hon Paul Ohonbamu in his welcome address disclosed that the whole essence of governance is to make people happy and that is what Governor Okpebholo has been doing.

According to him, this is the  third series of the stakeholders  engagement aimed at enlightening the people of the state on the achievements of the Governor and to get the views of the people  that will assist the government to make decisions
