  • 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.”

Di argument for Senator Solomon Adeola, wey people dey call Yayi, really come from don turn to one major political matter for Ogun State as activities toward di 2027 governorship election dey gada ground.

Adeola say may Abayomi Hunye and Folake Marcus-Bello show evidence for di claim say e be Ekiti indigene. Through im media aide, Kayode Odunaro, Adeola describe di allegation as false and defamatory, and threaten legal action if di pipo wey make di claim no fit prove am.

Hunye, too talk say e ready to meet Adeola for court and e talk say e get documents wey fit support im position.Report say Hunye claim say anoda legal mata connected to di disputed ancestry dey before court.

Anoda PDP chieftain, Folake Marcus-Bello, don also make claim for Adeola family background for television appearances. But di details of di claims remain disputed, and di pipo wey dey make dem never publicly establish one generally accepted account wey independent evidence don confirm.

For di oda side, pipo wey support Adeola don point to Ogun as di place wey im family roots dey. Di Oluwo of Kemta and Baaye of Egbaland, Chief Abayomi Rotimi, recently affirm Adeola connection with Kemta and describe am as son of di community, And em dey warn politics make Dem no no interfere with traditional institution.

Adeola own public profile say dem born am for Lagos Island for 1969 to Ayinde and Abeeni Ogunleye. Di same profile say im political journey include service for Lagos State House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate, before e become senator for Ogun West in 2023.

Anoda beta development come on, when Aminatu Abiola, wey identify herself as di first wife of Adeola late father, speak about di mata. Reports say she reject di suggestion say Adeola biological parents come from Ekiti, and say she herself na di family member wey get Ekiti roots.

Di controversy dey happen for period when Ogun politics dey prepare for anoda major governorship contest. Adeola don emerge as APC candidate, while Oladipupo Adebutu dey represent PDP side. Adebutu later challenge Adeola make e go court over di ancestry dispute if e believe say di allegations no true.

For now, di central question no suppose be based only on political speeches or social-media claims. Di beta thing na whether pipo ml wey dey allege Ekiti ancestry fit present credible family, historical or legal evidence, and whether such evidence fit withstand independent verification.

Di dispute too show how questions about place of origin and ancestral identity fit become powerful issue for Nigerian politics, especially when election dey near. But unqtil credible evidence settle di matter, di claim say Yayi be Ekiti indigene remain a disputed allegation, while Adeola continues to maintain say im ancestral roots dey for Ogun State.

Dis report explain di ongoing argument about Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi alleged Ekiti ancestry, im response, di claims from opponents and di evidence wey different sides don present.
