Osegbowa Family Reacts To A Publication In The Social Media On The Murder Of Madam Felicia Osegbowa

-

PRESS RELEASE

The attention of the family of Osegbowa in Benin City, Edo State has been drawn to the publication in the social media about the gruesome murder of Madam Felicia Osegbowa by yet to be identified gunmen in Benin City. The information is being circulated by one Erhanomigho Edegbe, based in the United States of America.

We members of Osegbowa family worldwide hereby dissociate ourselves from that negative and nefarious publication which is a calculated attempt by the author to pitch the Osegbowa family against the highly revered Benin Monarch and the Benin Traditional Council.

Consequently, the Osegbowa family is using this medium to state categorically that the author Erhanomigho Edegbe is not a member of the Osegbowa family and he has not been engaged or mandated to be the family spokesman. The information he is circulating in the social media at best can be regarded as the figment of the author's imagination which shows his personal hatred for the Osegbowa family and denigration of the rich custom and tradition of Benin Kingdom. Therefore, the information should be disregarded by members of the public.

For the avoidance of doubt, the deceased woman Madam Felicia Osegbowa was neither a Queen mother nor her daughter an Oloi and they are not mother of all Edo's as reported in the social media. Furthermore, there is no unusual quiet in the Palace of the Oba  of Benin as reported in the social media, this is because normal activities and events are going on in the Palace unhindered.

The Osegbowa family want to also use this medium to call on the various law enforcement agencies to unravel the circumstances that led to the murder of Madam Felicia Osegbowa, while the perpetrators of the dastardly act should be arrested and brought to justice.

Signed: Victor Iguodala OSEGBOWA

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
