A group, Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) worldwide, has challenged a pan-Ijaw group, Izon Ibe Dragnet, over the renaming of Gelegele to Gelegelegbene in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State.
A statement by the president of BSM, Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, insisted that the Benin name for the community which is in Benin Kingdom under the domain of the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba Ewuare ll, is Gelegele and not Gbene as being peddled by Ijaw elements in the riverside community.
Ugbo said the Ijaw people should realise that they are settlers in Benin Kingdom, noting that the Benin people are accommodating but their hospitality should not be misconstrued as a sign of weakness by those who hide under different aliases and groups to trigger crises which will end up consuming them.
