Indigenes of Edo State have kicked against plans by some northerners to install a Sultan of Shuwa Arabs in the state.

According to the invitation for the coronation ceremony which has since gone viral, the Shuwa Arabs ethnic group from Borno is set to install Idris Addano as the Sultan of Shuwa Arab of the entire Edo State.

The coronation ceremony is slated to hold on Saturday, 21 August 2021, at Rialto Hotel, Eyaen, in Benin City, owned by a Duke in Benin Kingdom, Osazuwa Iduriase, the Enogie of Enyean.

Many prominent Benin youths have taken to Facebook to kick against the planned coronation of a Sultan within the Kingdom.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the Shehu of Borno, had on August 4 this year, turbaned Addano and gave him the same title.

The planned event is for Addano to establish the authority given to him in Borno as the leader of the Shuwa Arabs community in Edo State.

Reacting to the development, the President of Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM), Elder Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, said Benin indigenes would do whatever it would take to resist what he described as “evil act” by persons who are bent on fomenting trouble.

"This will never happen in Benin Kingdom, we are Benin," Ugbo added.

On his part part, the Coordinator-General of Great Benin Descendants (GBD), Imasuen Izoduwa, said the organisation would meet and lock up the hotel-venue of the coronation, for allowing “such nonsense” in the land”

"We will meet later today so we can lock up that hotel by tomorrow or next for allowing such nonsense in our land. Enough is enough, I will no longer take any of this in our Kingdom,” he said.

Comrade Amos Ehinomen Uagbor said: “Is this obtainable elsewhere? We should now have oba and Sultan in Edo State? In fact, the venue should be sealed”.

Meanwhile, Iduriase, the owner of the proposed hotel for the coronation has also distanced himself from the event.

Funny enough, the said coronation is happening in two days. Make we dey watch sha.

Things fall apart

Southern Nigerians should act with their brains. We can't have Sultan and Oba of Benin na. What's all this? Can we have an Oba of Kano.

This is not about politics o, is all about the north crossing their boundaries in the name of religion. This is wrong. I charge the Benin youths to take action on this. Obaseki should wake up now & act.

But we are one Nigeria?

Please remove that your southerners there, na now you know say you be southerner because Fulanis don dey enter your region, IPOB and ESN na una headache, southerners kee you there

Repent now of your sinful evil ways to avoid spending your eternity in hell fire after you die. Jesus Christ love and warns you to repent and convert now to Christianity to avoid hell fire. Only Jesus Christ can save you by his death on the cross and his blood which washes away your sins, any other ways ( Islam, paganism, Hinduism, atheism, etc) can not save you. Be wise while you still have the chance accept Jesus Christ now and save your soul from hell. Be wiser than Satan and follow the one true God

These terrorist are infiltrating our communities like the Taliban
