Some Benin palace chiefs have disagreed over the purported endorsement of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, for the state’s governorship election scheduled for September 28. According to a report by Punch newspaper, a group of chiefs chiefs belonging to the Egha Evbo’ Nore (town chiefs) had last week adopted the PDP candidate at the residence of the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion. But another group of palace chiefs, led by the Obazelu of Benin, Chief Osaro Idah, condemned the action, asked that the palace should not be dragged into partisan
“Arase has since been suspended from participating in palace activities; he wore palace dress and some beads in order to be seen as a chief. He started going from village to village to meet the elders to vote for the PDP. “We have been looking for him to face the full wrath of the law because he is not a chief. I am the Obazelu of Benin Kingdom. I am qualified to know who is the Igiehon of Benin. I deal more with Igiehons.” He added, “Once they are caught, the palace will mete out necessary sanctions. They are not chiefs. They have been hiding since we heard about their activities. Once we catch them, we will hand them over to the police. “The palace will never call for support for any candidate. We always pray for the best to emerge. We are going to report to appropriate sections of the palace to look into such defaults.”
