Ebira witches give Kogi govt september deadline to meet demands

The Association of Ebira Witchcraft, under the leadership of Her Majesty, Inya Oyarazi Kudi Attah has presented demands with deadline to the Governor of Kogi state, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo

In a letter on Saturday, the association said its demands are made on behalf of all the people of Kogi Central senatorial district, as the chapters in the other senatorial districts prepare to also present their demands.

Addressing Governor Ododo and his predecessors, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the witchcraft association asked for provision of basic water infrastructure.

“Access to clean and regular water supply remains a luxury in Ebira land and surrounding communities.

Water is not a political gift; it is a basic human right. We demand immediate intervention through boreholes, water schemes, and sustainable infrastructure,” the association said.

They also asked for rehabilitation of schools in Kogi Central.

The Association said Kogi Central reportedly has less than 47 functional primary and secondary schools, many of which are in deplorable condition.

We demand total rehabilitation of all existing primary and secondary schools, provision of furniture, learning materials, and qualified teachers.

“Education is the foundation of development, and neglecting it is a direct attack on the future of our children.”

The witches demanded urgent reconstruction of an ultra-modern motor garage in Okene as existing park infrastructure does not reflect the population size, economic importance of the area as well as modern safety and transport standards.

We demand the rebuilding of an ultra-modern motor garage in Okene to boost commerce, safety, and urban dignity.”

While acknowledging the importance of digital education, they emphasized that an e-library without water, functional schools, and basic infrastructure is a misplaced priority.
