Edo Government Retracts Statement On Oba's Appointment by royallord1(m): 12:18pm On May 25, 2016 |
The Edo State Government has withdrawn a letter earlier issued on the Oba of Benin, saying it was issued in error. In a retraction signed by the Secretary to State Government, Julius Ihonvbere, dated May 25, 2016, the government said: “In deference to the revered age-long tradition and respect for the sensibilities of the people of the great Benin Kingdom, the Government of Edo State hereby withdraws a letter issued on 24th May 2016 entitled: “Appointment of His Royal Highness Edaiken N’Uselu, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa as the Oba of Benin” “The said letter was issued in error as the rites of passage of His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba of Benin are still on. “The government will, in due course, issue a fresh letter on the installation of the Edaiken N’Uselu, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa, as the Oba of Benin, in line with the age-long succession tradition of the Benin Kingdom and in line with Section 19 (1) of the Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law, 1979 (as amended) and by virtue of all other laws enabling it in that behalf, after all necessary traditional rites are concluded.” Mr. Ihonvebere had on Tuesday circulated a letter approving the appointment of Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa as the Oba of Benin, with effect from April 29, 2016. In the letter dated May 24, Mr. Ihonvbere, had said, “It is hereby notified for general information that in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 19 (1) of the Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law, 1979 (as amended) and by virtue of all other laws enabling it in that behalf, the Executive Council of the Edo State Government of Nigeria has approved the appointment of His Royal Highness Edaiken N’Uselu, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa as the Oba of Benin, with effect from 29th day of April, 2016.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/204053-edo-govt-withdraws-letter-approving-new-oba-benin.html

I wasted nearly an hour this morning lecturing people on Bini/Edo culture. The facts are: Oshiomhole can't appoint the Oba of Benin, it is hereditary, it's a birthright different from the Oni of Ife, the Sultan of Sokoto or the Emir of Kano. Eheneden Erediauwa becomes Oba at the death of his father, no other person can occupy that position as long as he is alive. If Eheneden dies today, his first son even if he is an infant would be the Oba, regents would then steer him till he is old enough to take over. 107 Likes 1 Share |

People can say whatever they like. The Governor can't appoint the Oba --YES But he has to officially approve and acknowledge it. Even the emir sanusi got an appointment letter from his governor. That's the only way the Government can recognize them officially. Ordinarily our constitution has no place for traditional rulers . 25 Likes 2 Shares |

The throne of the Oba of Bini is not subject to the approval or discretion of even the President talk less of a governor under the Oba's realm. This is the only surviving dynasty left in Africa and it dates back to a bloodline centuries before Nigeria or Edo state came into existence. For one unionist scammer to have the audacity to declare the living heir apparent to his claims to his forefathers throne is a abomination upon itself. Oshiomole must sacrifice Iara to appease the gods and ancestors of the revered Bini Kingdom for his sacrilegious claims of authorising a new Oba for the Kingdom of Bini and her peoples. 79 Likes 4 Shares |

Where are the noisemakers who were spewing poo in the previous thread? Note, Bini traditional institution is far more advanced, well-structured than your country Nigeria. There is no single drop of political permutation about who succeeds the Oba in Bini Kingdom. It's a divine right of the first son of the Oba. Deal with with it!

Smart move. Oshiomole acted fast and decisively in a move that has politics written all over it. He wouldn't want to loose the goodwill of the bini people in the days leading up to the polls |
