APC crossed the line with reckless publication on Benin Royal family – Osagie

Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Political Affairs, Chief Osaro Idah, has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has crossed the line in its desperation to drag highly respected persons and institutions in society in the mud over its low public rating.

Idah who said this in Benin City on Monday, in a note to journalists, maintained that “the Royal Palace of the Benin Monarch has for decades remained insulated from partisan politics and all political actors must respect its neutral status.
“It is unfortunate that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will go to such irresponsible extent in an attempt to dishonor our revered monarch and our traditional institution in the name of politics.

“It is also shameful that the APC will try to use a faceless group to try to tarnish the very cordial relationship between the palace and the government.”

He added that: “John Mayaki is swimming in troubled waters by dragging the highly exalted Royal Palace of the Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, into his brand of campaign of calumny and mudslinging.

“Not even Mayaki’s poor orientation of the customs and traditions of Benin people, is sufficient excuse for his indiscretion and assault on the things we hold in high esteem. He must be warned and guided by Edo sons and daughters, who know where to draw the line.

“The issue between the Ogiamien family and the Benin Royal House predates the election of Governor Obaseki in 2016, and has been receiving attention by the relevant institutions of government, including the courts.

“We are however assured that neither the good people of Edo state nor the revered Benin Royal Palace can be misled by this reckless and reprehensible tactic of the APC in the name of politics. APC’s attempt to pit the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led government against the Benin Monarch will continue to fail.”

Instead of Obaseki to disown the endorsement of the Ogiamen family he is here speaking grammar.

Obaseki is only seeking for his own interest

Ogiemien family will soon get their palace back

They're the real Edo

The Ogiamen family is a family in Benin and they have the right to endorse anybody. The Ogiamen family is not an enemy of the Oba.

Is Obaseki truly funding the Ogiamen family or not?

The Yoruba should give them independence

Really? Dragging the stool of the monarch is what?

Some Blackman and lack of honour.

Obaseki our choice

The family came out to disown the person of Arisco. The Ogiamen family is a part of history in the making of kings in Benin. The Oba has not declared them enemy. Do you know what it means to be declared an enemy of the Oba?

What is Yoruba matter in this one?
