The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, has lamented his failed efforts
to reconcile the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor,
Adams Oshiomhole.
The monarch recalled the good relationship that existed
between Obaseki and Oshiomhole.
Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, spoke at a peace meeting with
political actors at his palace in Edo State on September 2, 2020.
The royal father said he had known the incumbent Governor
since he (the Oba) was serving as an ambassador.
Oba Ewuare II said he cannot tell what went wrong that led
to the fierce face off between the two politicians.
Ewuare II said, “I was very sad, shocked; what I thought was
going to be a smooth ride for everybody, tranquillity in the state,
tranquillity in the kingdom, turned to unprecedented conflict.
“I could not believe it that I tried to intervene several
times; I even went to the President about their matter.”
Oba Ewuare II lamented that he had put in several efforts to
reconcile the two politicians stressing that he sought “the intervention of
President Muhammadu Buhari at some point in the matter.”
The monarch noted that the fight between the two elephants
was already having negative effects on the State and its people.
