I Did Not Shun Jonathan - Oba of Benin
The Oba of Benin,
Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, has refuted publications in some
national newspapers that he shunned President Goodluck Jonathan and
members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on their recent visit to
his palace.
The Benin traditional council, in a statement signed
by its secretary and issued on the authority of the traditional ruler,
in Benin City, on Monday, described some of the publications as
mischievous.
According to the statement, “the palace would like
to make it clear that the Omo N’Oba did not shun President Jonathan and
the PDP members that came with him.
“In fact, it is the respect
and love Omo N’Oba has for the president that made him to still manage
to see the president in a private chamber in the palace, despite a complicated situation that day.”
Besides,
the statement reminded the public that “three weeks ago, Omo N’Oba
waited for over two hours in his open office, where he received
Vice-President Namadi Sambo and the PDP chieftains that were in Benin
for political rally.
The traditional ruler used the medium to
advice politicians to avoid violence in the forthcoming gubernatorial
election in the state.
