Obaseki Opens Up On Alleged Rift With Oba Of Benin

The Edo State Government has clarified that it has no court issue with Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo. 

This denial came in reaction to rumours that earlier made the rounds that the revered monarch had been dragged to court by the state government.

However, in a statement released, the Special Adviser (media projects) to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Crusoe Osagie, dismissed the reports and asked residents of the state and the general public to disregard them.

According to the governor’s spokesman, the rumour is fabricated, fake, and should be discountenanced in its entirety.

“The Edo State Government has no case in court against our revered Royal Father, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin. The rumour making the rounds on social media of an impending court case is the handiwork of enemies of the State and should be disregarded.

” As a matter of fact, in the matter being referenced by the purveyors of the fake news, the Edo State Government is a defendant, which means the State government is being sued.”

“The State Government maintains a cordial relationship with the Royal Palace and holds the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, Ogidigan, in high esteem.” the statement released
