The Edo State Government has condemned, in strong terms, the planned coronation of Idriss Addano as the ‘Sultan of Shuwa Arab of Edo State’, describing the purported move as sacrilegious and a threat to peace and security in the state.

In a statement issued by the Secretary to the Edo State Government, Osarodion Ogie, Esq., assured citizens that firm and decisive action will be taken to prevent the actualization of the illegal and sacrilegious act.

The statement reads: “The Edo State Government has been inundated with complaints from indigenes and residents of the state over the purported move to embark on the coronation of one Idriss Addano as ‘Sultan of Shuwa Arab of Edo State’.

“The Edo State Government wishes to state as follows: That whether or not this event is held at the said, or any other location within the state, it would constitute a direct assault on the traditions, custom and culture of the people of Edo State, by individuals who clearly have sinister motives and are trying to abuse the well-known Edo hospitality by their act of sacrilege.

“That it is a potential threat to the peace and security of Edo State, with the capacity to cause a breakdown of law and order as citizens of the state are likely to be provoked by the obnoxious ceremony.

“Under the Edo State Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law, it is an offence for anyone to proclaim himself, or allow himself to be proclaimed as the holder of any traditional title not recognized under the said law and/or without the approval of the appropriate authorities.”

According to Ogie, “The state government hereby wishes to assure all concerned that firm and decisive action will be taken to prevent the actualization of this illegal and sacrilegious act and that all persons found to have been involved in the conception and/or execution would face the full wrath of the law.”
“The Edo State Government, therefore, calls on all citizens to be calm, law-abiding and rest assured that government is firmly on top of the situation,” he assured.

Mikecold:
Strong statement from obaseki
I expected this
No chance given

slimfit1:
Our SW governor are looking for a Vice President position so are not that bold .

Juliusmalema:



There is nothing wrong in having sultan in edo state

Sirjamo:
The only sacrilege here is not going through the palace of the Oba to get his approval.

There's nothing wrong in having a Sultan for the Shuwa migrants in Edo. I know Benin people will have a traditional head in Borno, since Igbo have igwe and Yoruba have a Kabiesi.




I AM DONE TALKING

Mikecold:
I can see they fried your sense

Just mention your state so i can call it out directly

Juliusmalema:




Learn tolerance afterall there are large percentage of Muslims in edo state roughly 40%. Edo north are entirely muslims.

There is need for sultanate arm there.

Mikecold:
you have taken your Colorado again

Juliusmalema:



I just want to be a voice to the voiceless edo Muslims today.

God willing we will establish the caliphate there.

Mikecold:
Na for igbarakpa you go establish the Yoruba fake Muslim caliphate

After all your people have been chased to Benin republic for free caliphate

Mikecold:
you have taken your Colorado again

If Muslims make 40% in Edo dey suppose get deputy governor since 1999 now

If Muslims is 40% in edo north then Edo north Christian's should be 40% too because na draw in Edo north

So if only Edo North has 80% population how many is Edo south that is majority and Esan two majority christian zones

Juliusmalema:


Bini's are mostly traditional worshippers. The little Christian population can only be seen in the central axis.

Juliusmalema:



Mark this word “God willing”
