A socio-political group, Edo National Voice(ENV), has dragged the governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, over the news report that he is working to broker peace between the Benin Palace and some suspended Enigie.
ENV alleged that “for Obaseki who is the architect of the numerous sacrilegious acts/plots against our revered Palace to say he wants to broker peace between our reverred Palace and the suspended Enigies is an abberation, sacrilegious and insult on the good people of Benin Kingdom.
“That it is an abominations for anyone to even think of dabbling into a matter that has been settled by our reverred Palace or is Obaseki not aware that he can’t call our reverred Oba of Benin Kingdom to negotiate with his subjects.”
Going further, the group stated: “The word ‘EGUAE’ means Court and what ever matter ‘Eguae’ has settled can never be tempered with by third parties no matter highly placed or is Obaseki not aware that our revered throne is ‘law’?
“The utterances and actions of Obaseki in mediation are confirmation that Obaseki is the architect of the Court case against our revered Palace and the good people of Benin Kingdom. It is on record that our reverred Palace suspended the defiant enigies but Obaseki by his utterances and actions still recognizes them as enigies which is contrary to the customary law of the land.”
In conclusion, the group submitted, “Edo people should rise above board to continually defend and protect our common heritage and root to preventing Obaseki and his gangs from executing their planned anti-palace agenda.”
