The ban on the activities of the notorious Community Development Association (CDA) by the Godwin Obaseki led administration being supported by Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II brought a lot of reliefs to property developers and the acquisition of landed properties.
In recent times, we are being disturbed by the resurgence of the hitherto banned CDA activities in some communities against the law proscribing their activities. The kidnap of the Enogie of Ukhiri has been alluded to be connected to a tussle between him and some members of the banned CDA in the community. The current planned unification of the banned CDA actors in Edo state cannot succeed.
Edo state governor and Oba of Benin should as a matter of urgency rise to the occasion by taking drastic actions in ensuring that we are not taken back to the dark days of fear and terror in our communities.
In support of this observation, there was serious confrontation in a community in Edo South few days ago leading to shooting of persons with several others injured occasioned by members of the hitherto banned CDA. (See attached photograph)
It is our resolve in Edo Civil Society Organisations to ensure that CDA activities are never activated in Edo state. We thereby stand with the governor and Oba of Benin to ensure an end to CDA activities that brought underdevelopment to the state for years. We cannot afford to retrogress by the activities of few.
CDA MUST NOT REAR ITS UGLY HEAD IN EDO STATE.
