Retrace Your Steps, Tow the Path of Peace - BSM Warns Ijaw Youths



The Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) Worldwide has condemned the unprovoked attack initiated on the Benin indigenes of Obazuwa Community by Ijaw youths who are settlers in the neighboring Ikoro Community.

In a statement issued and signed by its President, Comrade Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, and made available to newsmen in Benin City, said  the Benins are peace lovers, accommodating and generous people.

He said, “We take exception to the way some of these Ijaw youths from the neighbouring Ikoro Community, said to be heavily armed with different types of arms and ammunitions, molest and even kill our brothers in their own soil without any provocation; To the extent the Benin indigenes of Obazuwa Community now live in perpetual fear of the unknown.

“These Ijaw youths residing in Ikoro Community have reportedly maimed, destroyed properties and livelihood of the Benins in Obazuwa Community on different occasions. And since this incident has been happening we have not heard of any word of caution coming from the leaders/elders of Ikoro to their rampaging youths. A clear indication that the action of the destructive youths have the backing of their leaders.

The Benin Solidarity Movement BSM Worldwide want to seize this opportunity to warn the Ikoro youths and their sponsors to retrace their steps and tow the path of peace immediately or else they will face the wrath of the sons of the soil.

They should be told that the gentle strides of a Leopard does not mean that it is scared. It is only strategizing and doing reconnaissance on the most effective method to adopt in caging the enemy.

Another issue that is on the front burner in recent times is the agitation for a Biafra Republic as being championed by the Igbos under the control of the self acclaimed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the enfant terrible Nnamdi Kanu.

The Benin Solidarity Movement BSM Worldwide concern as regards the agitation is the knack by the arrowhead of the IPOB to always describe Edo State as a part of Biafra; There is nothing farther from the truth.

The people of Edo State, most especially the Benins, are never and will never be from Biafra. The enfant terrible and his group of ‘hero’ worshippers should get that into their brain now as failure to heed this warning will be the beginning of the end of their Biafra Republic dream

EDO 2024:- Esan people must look beyond personal interest to make the "Esan Agenda" fly.

Image
  There is every indication that the unguarded spirited moves in certain quarters, to present a common candidate for Edo Central, to succeed the incumbent Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, come 2024 Governorship Election, will spell doom for the entire Esan Agenda. This is so because the emerging political reality or permutations no longer favour featuring an Esan indigene to queue behind Governor Goodwin Obaseki, from outside his direct influence.  The point being made here is that it is no longer tenable for political godfathers to force their candidates on the people of Edo State, given the way and manner the current Edo State Governor was able to roll back the political clock that eventually resulted in his favour. In succeeding to demystify the once potent political influence of the godfathers in Edo State, Governor Goodwin Obaseki has historically set an interesting precedent. This is the fact of the matter: no known political godfathers in Edo State can...
