The lawmaker representing Ovia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Omosede Igbinedion, has cautioned against any act capable of triggering disunity between the Ijaws and Benins in Edo State.
Hon Omosede said it was important for the Ijaws and Benins to always toe the line of peace and unity.
Omosede, who spoke in Benin City, said she believed unity of the country remained sacrosanct.
According to her, “There is a long history of the Ijaws living peacefully in Edo State and in Benin Kjngdom. It is
important that we continue to be united and nothing should trigger disunity.“I am waiting on Governor Monday Okpebholo to address the recent situation in Gelegele. He, really do not think there is an issue. There are certain people trying to ignite what could turn into an issue. I want us to always toe the line of peace and unity. I am not tribalistic in anyway myself being a mixed parentage. I believe the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct and we must all continue to thrive for peace and live in unity.” She said.
