Edo prince to PDP: Stop using my Aso Rock visit for
political campaigns.
The crown prince of Benin Kingdom, Prince
Eheneden Erediauwa, has warned the Peoples
Democratic Party to stop using his visit to President
Goodluck to garner votes ahead of the general
election.
Prince Erediauwa, who urged the public to
discountenance the use of his pictures, images,
audio and video to campaign for votes, said he is
not a member of any political party.
The Benin Prince noted that his visit to the
Presidential villa as directed by his father, Oba
Erediuawa, was to douse negative comments that
the Oba does not support the government of
President Jonathan.
He stated that reference by some politicians (PDP)
to his father’s statement that “President Jonathan
will be given the opportunity to continue his good
work” was being misconstrued.
Eheneden said the prayer came to pass by way of
the President being nominated as presidential
candidate of the PDP.
The prince, who spoke in a statement signed by
Secretary to Benin Traditional Council, Frank Irabor,
said his father’s message was politically
manipulated by some self serving politicians in
order to gain upper hand in soliciting for votes.
The statement said, “The Oba of Benin is a non-
partisan traditional ruler who treats all politicians
equally and always pray for all those who are into
partisan politics and other ventures.”
Meanwhile, Royal Palace Chiefs led by the traditional
Prime Minister of Benin Kingdom, Chief Sam Igbe,
the Iyase of Benin, has reiterated that the Benin
Monarch has not endorsed any candidate for the
March 28 presidential election.
Chief Igbe, who read a communique issued at the
end of the Chiefs’ meeting, urged electronic media
houses to stop showing the prince visit to President
Jonathan.
