His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo
Oba Ewuare II has praised Governor Monday Okpebholo for the restoration of his
full statutory rights, describing it as “devastating on our detractors.”
The Oba affirmed also that the abolition of the
controversial Local Government Traditional Councils in Edo South Senatorial
District created by the immediate past government of Godwin Obaseki as “joyous
to our friends, and marvelous in the eyes of the Almighty God.”
The Benin monarch stated these in a letter of
appreciation to Governor Okpebholo, dated November 27, 2024.
The letter which was signed by some Palace Chief –
Norense Ozigbo-Esere (Osuma of Benin), Edionwe Oliha (Oliha of Benin), Stanley
Obamwonyi (Esere of Benin), Osaro Idah (Obazelu of Benin) and others, also
praised the state government for the withdrawal of a revocation letter for the
concession of Oba Akenzua II Cultural Centre in Benin and other issues of
concern by the Governor Obaseki’s administration.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Oba, Osaigbovo
Iguobaro, made the statement available to newsmen in Benin City.
The letter reads: “We deeply thank your Excellency for
deeming it fit and necessary to restore the full Statutory Rights of the Oba of
Benin, for respecting the rights and privileges of the Omo N’Oba as the only
Traditional Ruler of Benin Kingdom in Edo South Senatorial District and
custodian of the rich-cultural heritage.
“This action of Your Excellency, which is coming
barely two weeks into your administration, is very well applauded. It is
devastating on our detractors. It’s joyous to our friends, and marvelous in the
eyes of the Almighty God.
“The Omo N’Oba prays for God Almighty to continue to
strengthen and guide your Excellency as you continue to bring about a
meaningful and robust transformation of Edo State.”
Amongst other things, the Oba added that God brought
Governor Okpebholo to sanitise Edo State.
