This is an eye opener for the Enigie, the traditional ruler and the Benin Traditional Council (BTC) as a whole, and I know that traditional rulers in Edo State are about 250 to 300 yet Governor Godwin Obaseki said he will be paying them. Can anyone trust a serial betrayal like Governor Godwin Obaseki who has betrayed all humankind?
If he recognises the Oba of Benin as the head of Benin Traditional Council why then is Godwin Obaseki owing the Benin Traditional Council for 7 months amounting to N600,000,000(Six hundred million naira). I’m not putting this up. It is verifiable from the BTC.
Obviously Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki is doing all of these things to taunt and witchhunt the Omo N’Oba N’Edo and he is doing this against our ancestors because who fights the Oba of Benin fights the Benins.
We all can recall that during the last election, Governor Godwin Obaseki rolled out the position of SA and SSA and after he have fraudulently rigged the election through a government official who moslested and harassed everyone. It didn’t even get up to a month after the election, Godwin Obaseki fired the SA and SSA after using them selfishly and you all also know that there is a serious fight between himself and his Deputy, Philip Shaibu because of selfish interest.
So I am calling on the Enigies, the chiefs, that they should please do not believe Godwin Obaseki and if ever he meant what he said then he should release the N600,000,000 owed the Traditional Council.
Godwin Obaseki is not the first Governor we have, every governor has adhered to this and this money is coming from the federal allocation. If Godwin Obaseki can get the security vote monthly which he doesn’t use to secure anybody.
The reason why Governor Obaseki is doing all of these is because the local government election is coming. He is therefore using this to taunt all the chiefs, because of he gives them the stipend they’ll think someone good is about to happen.
Beware of Godwin Obaseki and his tricks, he does not mean well for the Palace.
Governor Godwin Obaseki, there are lots of things to battle with. Our roads are bad, hospitals need to be fixed and subsidized so the ordinary citizens can have access to healthcare. The Governor should leave the Palace alone and stop peddling with royal affairs.
The Traditional Council has been in existence and will continue to be in existence even after his 8 years of governorship. We can no longer tolerate this act as the Governor of Edo State has crossed the boundaries, the child that says his mother will not sleep himself will not sleep!
