OVER 6,000 women across the three senatorial districts of Edo State, yesterday, staged a peaceful protest in Benin City, denouncing what they described as an attempt by former Governor Lucky Igbinedion and his father, the Esama of Benin Kingdom, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, to tarnish the image of the state governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.

My strength lies in the power of conviction. If you work for people, people will pray for you and their prayers will shield you from harm. That is the reason we are on and strong. The tax must be paid and; if they don’t pay, we will follow due process, prosecute them, and if we secure conviction, we will jail you; there is no question about that. No body except the Oba of Benin is exempted.

Worried by the recent outburst of the Edo State governor, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, against the Esama of Benin Kingdom and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, women from across the state under the aegis of Concerned Edo Women, yesterday, took to the streets of Benin to protest the governor’s attack on the Igbinedion family.
