BENIN—GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo
State has said that he may not reconcile his
differences with the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel
Igbinedion, because the latter allegedly
disrespected his office by seeing himself as bigger
than the entire Edo State.
Oshiomhole spoke when he visted Chief
Igbinedion’s ancestral home in Okada, Ovia North-
East Local Government Area, where he
commissioned class room blocks at Iguomo and a
three-storey office complex which was named
after the governor.
The projects were executed by the chairman of the
council, Mrs Lucy Omagbon. The governor, who
was responding to a plea by a leader of the
community that the governor should reconcile with
Chief Igbinedion, said that he had no problem with
Chief Igbinedion but that his duty as governor of
the state was to protect both the rich and the
poor, adding that it was in the discharge of such
duties that he had issues with Igbinedion.
According to him, “I heard the Chairman talking
about my quarrel with Igbinedion. I have no
problem with anybody. There are only four levels
of government, federal, state, local and traditional
institution. The House of Igbinedion does not
belong to any of this. He is a chief and I respect
him as a chief but he must respect constituted
authorities, the office of the governor of Edo State.
This governor cannot be harassed, he cannot be
blackmailed. And I stand ready to defend that
office.”
