A case of medicine after death.the deadly clash would have been avoided if sentiments had not overshadow the issue when the oba and his chief went on rampage threatening the guy with banishment.

Godfathers, traditional leaders and elders

Past heads of state and presidents were listed as political godfathers. Ibrahim Babangida was defined as “always a factor in Nigeria‘s politics”; Yakubu Gowon and Shehu Shagari were said to “both command respect from the street and elite”; while Muhammadu Buhari was described as having “showed principled positions on anti-corruption and electoral issues” in the 2007 elections. It was different for former military ruler and president, Olusegun Obasanjo, whose political influence was described as waning while being termed as “exceptionally wealthy”. Also in the exclusive list were traditional rulers, notably the Ooni of Ife, the Obi of Onitsha, the Emir of Kano, the Lamido of Adamawa, the Emir of Zazzau, and the Emir of Katsina, who the cable said helped in the past to broker elite compromise,

All these so called traditional leaders are disgrace to their subjects in whatever kingdom they represent. This is a big shame,
This article has proved that Oba of Benin and Sultan of Sokoto are incorruptible and still represent the tradition of their people.
