No relocation of Edo IDPs – Gov Adams Oshiomhole
Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has assured
Internally Displaced Persons in the state that they would not be
relocated.
About 1,300 persons including 900 reportedly affected by the Boko
Haram insurgency are in a camp operated by the International Christian
Mission and located at Uhogua village in Ovia North East local
government area of the state.
Oshiomhole, who spoke when he visited the camp on Tuesdayevening,
said the state government would provide the necessary facilities to make
their stay comfortable.
The governor denied being aware of any planned relocation of the IDPs, saying the action was caused by “communication gap.”
He said the state government would build a standard primary and secondary school and hostel for the IDPs educational support.
Oshiomhole noted that any Nigerian reserved the right to live and be treated well in any part of the country.
“Everybody is concerned that the kids should be save. Nobody had any
negative motive in moving the children. Having lived in the North all my
life I believe any where any Nigeria find himself should be his home.
That is why we abolish indigeneship in this state,” the governor stated.
