It is an established fact that the Convoy of Edo state Apc Governorship flagbearer senator Monday Okpebholo was attacked alongside his entourage while coming out from the Benin Airport, leading to the lost of life of one of his Security aides.


It is also confirmed with Video evidence that shortly after the attack on Senator Monday Okpebholo, the Edo state Governor, Obaseki in one of his Political Meeting made and incisive statement that anyone stopping his Political calendar will be burnt. He said “We just kept quiet with what they tried last Thursday, if they try what they tried last Thursday Nigeria will burn and I will lead it”. Too bad for a seating, Governor, Haba, is politics a do or die affair?

Also ahead of the proposed Nationwide protest on August 1st, by some Nigerian youths, this statement from the Edo state Governor might incite the youths and turn the protest into a similar violent end sars protest, that was hijacked and ended violently.

A Governor is not supposed to make such statement, by threatening violence and also claimed he will lead it. This statement is daring the president of the nation.

To this development Many Edo state indigenes Frown at the inflammatory statement said by the Edo Governor saying the statement can cause chaos in the state leading to Political instability and security threat to the life of the good people of Edo state.


According to reliable sources APC has petitioned the perpetrators of the tragic attack to the inspector General of police and the fingered suspects have gone into hiding, thereby frustrating the police in doing investigation.

Meanwhile Edo State Government has petitioned the Inspector General Police over the Thursday, July 18, 2024 breakdown of law and order in the State which was orchestrated by the former Deputy Governor of the State, Philip Shaibu under the pretext of executing a judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja for which a stay of execution had been filed and an appealed entered.

In the petition signed by the State Solicitor General, Prof. Faith Osadolor on behalf of the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, the State Government said Shaibu, contrary to the rule of law, recruited a throng of heavily armed thugs, including Tony Adun (Aka Tony Kabaka), Daniel Eromosele (Aka Pikolo), Efe Stewart, Joseph Okonigene, Noah Amiolemen Idemudia, among others, resorting to self-help, leading to the wanton destruction within the Benin metropolis and death of a Police officer.

Why is Obaseki witch hunting Daniel Eromosele a.k.a Pikolo? is it because he is making videos and campaigning for his principal. He wasn't even there at the crime scene.

Therefore they are calling on all the Good people of Edo state to come out and Vote for change, Vote for the APC at the forth coming Governorship Election, saying what the Good people of Edo state needs now is Development and they insist that the Person tested and trusted that can bring the expected change and development is not other person than the APC candidate Sen.Monday Okpebholo
At this stage, what we need is a leader that has vision and a good mission that will transform the state, not people planning to use Force on the People.

We have learned our lesson, and we will decide now for the interest of our state and for generations yet unborn, the Edo Indigene Laments.
