Proposed Anioma and Toru Ebe States- Don't Field Paddy Iyamu And Ndidi Aghimien Group Caution APC Leadership

-

Aiguobasinmwin Movement World-Wide, a group which described itself as the socio-cultural defenders of the rich culture, traditions, customs and heritage of the Edo Nation, has voiced it’s opposition to the likely emergence of two candidates on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Paddy Iyamu and Ndidi Aighimien in the 2027 polls.


The Aiguobasinmwin perceived them as being promoters of Toru Ebe and Anioma States which are being proposed to be carved out of Edo State in the planned new states creation coming up soon.

According to the Movement, “our detailed investigation into aspirants for the forthcoming general elections in Edo State, especially in Edo South Senatorial District, has unveiled substantial sponsorship of candidates like Mr. Paddy Emmanuel Iyamu and Mr. Ndidi Aghimien by the aforementioned states’ promoters under the auspices of the APC.

“Thus, the sponsors of Mr. Paddy Iyamu, who is vying for the Oredo House of Representatives seat and Mr. Ndidi Aghimien, who is also running for Orhionmwon East Constituency one (1) of Igbanke axis, are promoters of Toru Ebe and Anioma’s states creation.

“Their plans are carefully crafted so that, both aspirants and others can facilitate their agenda to carve out part of Edo land which will be to the detriment of Edo State if they emerge victorious in the APC primaries and the 2027 General Elections.

“Considering the delicate timing and the aspirations of some tribes like the Ijaws and Igbos who are laying claim to parts of our land for the establishment of their respective states, it becomes imperative for the Edo people to bar those aligned with the advocates of these proposed states, notably Mr. Paddy Iyamu and Mr. Ndidi Aghimien, from occupying elective positions in Edo State, particularly in the Edo South region, in order to avoid future regrets.”

Aiguobasinmwin urged the APC leadership in Edo State, Oredo and Orhionmwon Local Government Areas inclusively “to jettison any plan(s) to have these individuals as their consensus candidates to fly the party flag.

“This should be seen as a warning that any orchestrated attempt to undermine our stance on fielding of candidates (Senatorial, House Representative, and at State level) who have affiliation with those clamouring for the ceding of Edo land for the creation of the imaginary states like Toru Ebe and Anioma within the APC as a ruling party in Edo State most especially Edo South will result to mobilizing against such persons (aspirants) at the general elections. APC leaders in the Edo South Senatorial district can view this as a commitment.”

The Movement implored APC leaders in Edo State, especially Edo South, “not to give out our land to promoters of Toru Ebe and Anioma States through their agents in Edo State who are vying for elective position like Mr. Paddy Iyamu, Mr. Ndidi Aghimien and other aspirants.

“For avoidance of doubt, Mr. Paddy Iyamu mother and wife are Ijaws. Thus, his biological inclination is something we can’t overlook as it relates to his recent ambition.

“We must be very careful at this critical time where strangers are working round the clock to grab our land under the guise of state creation

The Edo State High Court has declared unlawful the restriction of human and vehicular movement during the state’s environmental sanitation exercise, in a landmark judgment delivered on Thursday. Justice Isoken Urhomwen Erameh ruled that the enforcement of a stay-at-home order between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on sanitation days violates citizens’ constitutional rights. In its decision, the court held that such restrictions are inconsistent with Section 41(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, which guarantees freedom of movement. It further found the measures to be in breach of Articles 12 and 13 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Justice Erameh consequently issued a declaration that the prohibition of movement during the sanitation period is unlawful and unconstitutional. The court also granted a perpetual injunction restraining the Edo State Government, its agents, officers and privies from restricting or interfering ...

Supreme Court Dismisses Petition Challenging Edo Governorship Election The Supreme Court has ruled that the petitioners seeking to nullify the Edo State governorship election failed to substantiate their claims. Delivering its verdict on Thursday, the apex court held that since the petitioners did not challenge results from all the polling units across the state, it was “absurd” to demand the nullification of the entire election and to be declared winners. The court further stated that the appellants failed to call witnesses or tender admissible evidence to prove irregularities in the disputed polling units. With this ruling, the Supreme Court has affirmed the outcome of the election as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
