The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has expressed “total
disappointment “over what he described as the “lopsided representation “by the
immediate past Minister of State Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem
Agba.
According to NAN, the Oba said this in a statement in Benin
by Mr Iguobaro Osaigbovo, the Chief Press Secretary to the monarch.
The King noted that while in office, the ex-minister failed
to extend ministerial benefits to Edo South and Edo Central senatorial
districts.
According to the statement, Oba Ewuare expressed
disappointment while responding to the Minister who was on a thank-you-visit to
the palace for its role in his appointment as a minister by former President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Oba Ewuare noted that having benefited from the goodwill
that led to his appointment, Agba should have reciprocated the kind gesture to
the entire three senatorial zones of the state rather than engaged in “politics
of disintegration “.
Oba Ewuare advised all Edo indigenes to use their good
offices to attract development to the state and to better the lots of the
people.
He said the erstwhile Minister of State Budget and Planning
performed “below expectation “.
