  • 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 New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, declared on Sunday in Lagos that he will not abandon the race in favor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nominee, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for the next presidential election.
This was disclosed by Kwankwaso at a meeting with the Nigeria Guild of Editors (NGE) in the Ikeja region of the state, at the same time that the former governor of Kano State admitted the necessity to restructure Nigeria’s large debt in order to advance the country.

To even be able to pay them, we’ll need to sit down and talk terms in the open air. “These are measures that I think are essential if we’re going to do everything we can to deal with the debt concerns,” he added.

Furthermore, the NNPP standard bearer called for contributions from various stakeholders in the country on a variety of issues ranging from education to agriculture to oil and gas to insecurity, ensuring that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) advanced by guaranteeing better management of the oil and gas industry “for the interest of each and every one of us.”

The NNPP leader said that he had a unique philosophy and experience as governor of Kano State that set him apart from his rivals for the presidency.

Kwankwaso went on to say that he had learned how to manage public resources throughout his career in governance, which began while he was employed as an artisan and continues to this day.

“Of course, we are glad that it is now legislation to make sure that the NNPC is carried ahead, and we are really dedicated to incorporating the private sector in this nation.

We will back the bill and do what needs to be done to improve the oil and gas business for the benefit of all Americans, he promised.

In regards to a constitutional review, the ex-governor of Kano stated that his administration would be receptive to the desires of the people, adding, “We will be very glad to follow our procedure to get it done.”

However, “the reality remains that from my personal experience in the previous two decades; the difficulty has not principally been that of the constitution but the operators,” he continued, “which we feel by 2023 we will have the correct people to manage the Constitution.”

When asked about his plan to address the widespread insecurity that he acknowledged was a drag on economic growth, Kwankwaso said more people would need to be hired to combat the problem, and that more resources would be used to do so.

As he lamented that the job problems the country is experiencing right now might be related to security problems on the ground, he announced that around one million cops and one million military men will be recruited “to assist tackle the insecurity difficulties.”

In his introductory remarks, Mr. Mustapha Isah, President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, explained that the candidates were invited to the forum so that they could speak with editors about their platforms in advance of the next elections.

He also noted that Nigerians, especially the young people, are agitating to know what plans the candidates for elections have for them if elected as president of this great country and that the Forum will be used by editors to seek clarifications on various issues and ask critical questions on national issues which concern the common man.

Meanwhile, Isah took the opportunity to encourage the presidential candidates running on various party platforms to rein in their spokespeople, stating that their remarks to the press and interviews with the media were inflaming the situation.

Permit me to take this occasion to request that the presidential contenders bring their spokespeople to order. Their remarks to the media and interviews with the media are stirring up politics. Perhaps they, like the recent presidential aspirants in Abuja, should be required to sign a peace treaty.

We’ve noticed that the candidates are quite civil with one another. When they run into one another in public, they always greet each other with kind words. This right here is maturity. Their spokespeople could take a lesson from them. He told his coworkers, “You are not obligated to use any poisonous press release supplied to you.
