enemies of Igede people suffered a serious setback yesterday in a meeting called by His Excellency, Gov Ortom with all the Chiefs from IGEDE in Govt House, Makurdi.

The enterprise of the home department of the enemies of Igede people suffered a serious setback yesterday in a meeting called by His Excellency, Gov Ortom with all the Chiefs from IGEDE in Govt House, Makurdi.

How can a very senior traditional ruler from Oju suggest to the Governor of Benue State openly that the Adirahu Igede selection should be held in Govt House in Makurdi. Hahahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahaha....... The Governor, in his wisdom turned it down, saying, Makurdi is not one of the places in IGEDE Kingdom. His Excellency further stated that the Chief should remember, this is not political parties' primary election ooooooooo.

His Excellency told the crowd that never again should they take serious any of their sons who goes to tell them in the villages that so, so and so person is govt candidates oooooo. He, however, acknowledged Prof Johnson Ona's role during his campaign days but reiterated it will be most ungodly for him to side one person in a contest against his blood brother while still on seat as Governor who should be father of all.

The Governor assured all IGEDE Chiefs at the meeting to feel free in selecting whoever they may choose as their King. Your Uncle, Benson was there with his lie, lie boys. His Excellency threw Moses Enenche's report into the dust bin just as he Cancelled the manipulated Uwokwu District third class selection that produced Chief Okponya of Okpokpo. The Governor berated some Igede leaders for indulging in lies and propaganda here and there, intimidating people with "The Governor Said" theory as if they are the only ones that do see His Excellency. 

Dear Reader, so you should ask yourself now? Why are some people so desperate to be made Chief? How can a very senior chief chooses to bastardize our tradition because he wants a particular candidate, whom they have anointed with Ikpoto to get to the throne at all cost? The over fourth Chiefs that were in the hall when the senior chief made that satanic suggestion, shouted him down in protest against that idea.

All we are saying, let IGEDE people be given the opportunity to choose whoever they like freely. And the process must be done in Igede. That's all. Whoever wins wouldn't matter to us but the transparency of the process is everything to all right thinking people of IGEDE Kingdom. You see, some of our political leaders can lie more than Satan himself oooooo.
