The Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba Erediauwa, on Saturday, in Benin, presented Red Egbeigbe, the highest Benin traditional attire to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Red Egbeigbe is the royal attire wore only by Benin prince and princess on rare occasion like marriages.
Erediauwa presented the royal attire to Jonathan when he paid a courtesy visit to the monarch in his palace in Benin City.
Presenting the attire, the traditional ruler said that he often see the president in dark-coloured attire.
Erediauwa congratulated the president for getting his party’s endorsement for second term.
Earlier, the president had told the monarch that he was in Benin to attend the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South-South sensitisation and unity rally.
President Jonathan who thanked the traditional ruler for the gift, promised to return to the palace when the campaign for his re-election begins. (NAN)

Same Oba that welcomed GEJ last time with disdain and disrespect.
Omo N’Oba is at last doing the decent thing by according respect where respect is due. Its obvious to most political observers that APC has died and its about to become extinct in Edo state. The well rehearsed and choreographed image laundry of Oshiomhole as a performing governor has been exposed as sham. The daily ritual of decampees from APC could also have made the Oba realise he was backing the wrong horse. An Oba has to listen to his people am glad the Oba realised this.

Oba gha tokpere!! Ise!!!

Even oshiomhole went to welcome Gej. Does that make him a pdp member?the oba is the royal father not a politician.respect is reciprocal Gej gave respect to the oba by paying him a visit and the oba showed appreciation.

Mogidi: Same Oba that welcomed GEJ last time with disdain and disrespect.

Last time GEJ visited the Oba he was kept waiting, my point is the Oba has seen the writing on the wall. Edo is unanimously going PDP and the Oba has no option than to follow.

Oba gha tokpere!! Ise!!!

That Oba welcomed President Jonathan with a royal recognition does not mean a vote of confidence on Jonathan and a despise for the APC government in state. It is a tradition and conventional of a traditional ruler to accord recognition to all his loyal subjects and guests of which President Jonathan (a president of the country for that matter) is one. Secondly, that Oshiomole is a performing Governor is not over hyped or exagerrated, but an obvious and evidential fact, which is witnessed across the state and across all sectors. Please be reminded that Oshiomole may not be good at politicking, which is not what Edo people want, but he is a performer and delivers dividends by way of infrastructures to the people, which is what Edo people want. If any one or politician is leaving APC to another party not on the basis of non performance by the Governor, but just for petish and selfish political reasons, let them 'go and die'. Bye bye to jati jati.

The OBA is a very cautious and calculative character..

How do you reason? That the Oba has no option than to follow? Are you a Nigerian, an Edo or do you know how Edo works politically or you are just commenting as spectator? Oba is not an attention seeking Monarch, the Oba fears no one (ask the Abachas and Igbenedions). He does what so ever he wishes and that isa right at any particular time. Don't forget my Oba is highly learned fellow.
