The Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State has accused Governor Godwin Obaseki of secretly conceding land to the federal government for a pilot scheme of the RUGA Settlement.

It said Governor Obaseki’s silence on the issue at a time other state governments are rejecting the establishment of RUGA settlement in their respective states was worrisome.

The PDP vowed to use all possible means including legal actions to defend the interest of Edo people in respect of the RUGA settlement.

State Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, who spoke Monday at a press briefing in Benin City urged Obaseki to understand that land is finite and could not be used in exchange for political bargains and favour.

Chief Orbih said Obaseki must listen to Edo people and the cries of victims of herdsmen activities.

Orbih said the PDP was concerned about political events in the state especially the lack of cohesion in the state House of Assembly dominated by members of the APC.

He urged all those concerned with the unhealthy political situation in the assembly to put aside their internal political differences and think about the greater interest of the state.

Orbih noted that lawmakers that should lead the agitation for government critical intervention to ameliorate the hardships of the people are missing in action.

According to him, “The APC can no longer blame the PDP for its misrule. The only achievement of Governor Obaseki is huge debt profile for Edo State. Obaseki is celebrating birthday at a time Edo people have nothing to celebrate.

“There is nothing to give impression of hope. The new central hospital is now for high blood pressure test, radio diagnostics and dialysis. What is happening to the 200-bed hospital. There is an urgent need to end the blame game and let the people have full benefits of the facilities in the hospital.

If Obaseki accepts RUGA then he has betrayed Edo. He will be kicked out physically or spiritually.

I'm for Buhari but this Ruga settlement is unacceptable.

I mean, the rumors of islamization can be true after all. This is how they gradually penetrate territories and strike from within when Jihad comes.

We have decayed to a fault that we from different ethnic background can no longer live together in harmony for long. The situation is beyond redemption already.

North has the largest land mass, they should stick to their territory.

Pdp and blasting, just like bread and butter.

Nonsense except obaseki wants to die a miserable death

He shouldn't try it.

Esan north has been mapped out for the rugga settlement according to good source

Their politica belief ve always been a problem something oshmole and abaseki are in agreement of

Thats great news.

I hope the government will exploit the option and completely halt Farmers and herdsmen conflict.

Me I don't know what they are even talking sef. All the lands belong to the government. If dem collect your settlement without settling you, just settle down and blast them on social media.
It us COZA that we are talking about now

He has received back hand... Betrayed his brethren

why should he react na ?

FG had published the list of States that their governors Volunteered lands and EDO isnt included in the 11 states.. PDP are just looking for anything to trend with, soon Atiku and PDP would claim their server was raped at COZA

this are the states concerned;
Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Kogi, Katsina, Kebbi, Zamfara and Niger states. atleast three of this states are controlled by PDP governors , why are they not talking?

STATES IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA INCLUDING MIDDLE BELT REGION SHOULD NOT BE CAJOLED INTO ACCEPTING THE RUGA SETTLEMENT FOR CATTLE HERDSMEN.

Bikonu, Wetin be Nigeria - Madagascar score? we need an update please.

it seems esan people are the strongest and bravest people in Edo state ...any attempt will be scary

I thought Oshiomhole's camp accused Obaseki of fraternizing with the PDP in Edo state?

RUGA settlement is typical of a Fulani expansionist agenda. Ask the people of Southern Kaduna about the land they gave fulanis to stay and rear cows in Kajuru. Today, they have renamed the place, appointed a Sarkin and asking for an emirate.

Sotherners, beware.

TIGRITIS:
Pdp and blasting, just like bread and butter.

But they are shouting the truth now before funny story line start springing up from Obaseki at least the Edo people has known now that their governor body language is dangerous if not warn seriously now.

It's too late to live in harmony with fulani herdsmen bro is too late no going back about that. North has enough land mass let them stay over their ok.

Born2Breed:
If Obaseki accepts RUGA then he has betrayed Edo. He will be kicked out physically or spiritually.

Even if he wanted to give in because of his party affiliation, I believe he wouldn't. He will have to consult d oba on this. D gelegele issue with ijaws is still fresh & ongoing except they won't bring d ruga thing close to Bini speaking areas

The reason(s) for his silence is best known to him.

pdp and their blabber mouth
