*STATEMENT BY CONCERNED EDO SOUTH APC STAKEHOLDERS ON PARTY LOYALTY, EQUITY AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY*   On Building the Party vs. Hawking for a Ticket The All Progressives Congress in Edo South was not built in one day. Many of us laboured when there was nothing to gain, when the path was uncertain, and when loyalty meant sacrifice without reward. It is therefore painful to watch the pioneer efforts of those who kept the structure alive being overlooked, while persons with no verifiable history of building, funding, or defending the party in Edo South now seek to claim its highest prize. We ask respectfully: Is Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama a card-carrying member of the APC in Edo South? Have those sponsoring his ambition contributed to any election, ward, LGA, or senatorial campaign for the APC in this state? Have they built structures, mobilized voters, or defended the party when it mattered? If the answer is no, then we must ask why the party sh...

UNIBEN DID NOT AND WILL NOT SURRENDER TO CULTISTS - AiGUOBASIMWIN Movement worldwide

*UNIBEN DID NOT AND WILL NOT SURRENDER TO CULTISTS* Let it be on record that under Prof. Edoba Bright Omoregie, SAN, the leadership of the University of Benin did not and will not surrender the campus to cult activity. The claim that UNIBEN has been surrendered to cultists is inaccurate.  Before the ungodly incident took place yesterday at the main gate, the management of the University of Benin had already put machinery in place to overhaul the university’s security architecture.  While we condemn the barbaric killing at the front of UNIBEN main gate, the exact cause is not yet fully ascertained. The position of the University of Benin management is clear: UNIBEN will not be safe for anyone intent on causing harm, given the interventions now in the pipeline for implementation. Let it be noted: _“If you don’t mean well for UNIBEN, the environment won’t accommodate you going forward.”_ Oya yasinmwin evbomwan! *Signed:*   Mr. Iyamu Osaro Culture – President...

*EDO GOVERNMENT CONDEMNS DAYLIGHT MURDER, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO STAMPING OUT CULTISM* Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, condemns in the strongest terms the murder of a youth at the main gate of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) by gunmen in broad daylight on Sunday. The brazen and cold-blooded killing on a day regarded as sacred by many is an affront to human dignity, a threat to public safety, and an attack on everything this administration stands for. It is completely unacceptable. Governor Okpebholo extends his heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and associates of the deceased, whose life was violently and senselessly cut short. The Edo State Police Command has commenced investigations into the incident, while security agencies are working round the clock to identify and apprehend all those responsible. They may run, but they cannot hide forever. Governor Okpebholo assures the public and the family of the victim that the case will not be swept unde...
