Former President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the Oba of Benin, His Highness Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, on his 70th birthday.

Buhari in a statement issued on Saturday by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, described the Oba as “a king among kings”.

The former President said Oba Ewuare II “continues as a source of inspiration to the country for his remarkable tenacity in the preservation of the cherished cultural values and traditions of the Benin Kingdom”.

“He is the ultimate Oba,” the former President noted, urging the media and the recorders of modern history to focus on Oba Ewuare II as a champion of good conduct and guardian of the cherished values and traditions of his people.

“Long Live the Oba, Long Live The Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Buhari added.

Buhari is like his Boss... Back in NNPC Buhari was Petroleum Minister, the king's father worked in NNPC and Obasanjo was the President

Live long Oba.

I am yet to understand the role of the traditional rulers in the modern-day dispensation. Because the government still control them. The government can decide to pay them or not, the government appoints most of them and remove them at will, they follow the rules of the government.

Do people still regard them when they issue directives? Do people still have reverence for them? I remember the end sars period when the Igbos attacked the Oba in Lagos and took his staff.

What really are the true roles of the traditional rulers in modern-day democracy?
