Group Lauds LOC Of NSF And Conderm The Non-Inclusion Of Edo Indigenous Artists.

EDO Indigenous People’s Movement worldwide alias EPIA, a nonprofit and nongovernmental indigenous movement disparaged Governor Godwin Obaseki and the Local Organising Committee for excluding Edo Artists and notable musicians from performing at the just concluded National Sports Festival (NSF) held in Benin City.
The convener and founder/president of the movement, Chief Dr. Bishop J O E Edokpolo commended the Governor and the federal government for the successful hosting of the sports festival.
Dr. Edokpolo however slams the governments for the exclusion of Edo indigenous musicians and artists from performing at the annual sports festival held on Edo soil.
“This is an assault on the sensibilities of our state and the Indigenous people of the state, globally. We’re the pioneer and the leading lights in Nigeria as far as, music, arts, culture and creativity is concerned”.
“This gratuitous insult on our people and state must not be tolerated from anyone, be they governments or private institutions going forward”, Dr. Edokpolo roared.
