Traditional Politics, after late Muri Munene Ita Okonkon Ekpenyong, it has always been fight to the throne this is another fight.

linearity:


I am even wondering how a traditional ruler can be sacked without throwing that community in turmoil and confusion.

These positions are cultural and their are specific families and individuals whose rights (not privilege) is to be a King in certain communities and the people in that community knows and reverends those precedents as lay down by their ancestors.

Some go through rites and rituals to even find the right candidate and even consult with the ‘gods’ and they move only when the ‘gods has spoken’….though I still don’t know or even have my doubts if the gods ‘spoke’, but that is not mine to judge, it is enough that these people believe that the gods has spoken.

And out of the blue, a Governor will negate all that?

Traditional rulers in Nigeria have been rendered absolutely useless. They've been reduced to nothingness. See the way governors now sack them like rice ready for importation. It's not really about partisanship, it's just that the man dissents Ayade's ill-infested government

I hope one day, the oba of benin won't be affected

I wonder if any governor can sack the Obi of Onitcha or Asagba of asaba... Still wondering

Those men juju na ogbunabali

Try that with Oba of Benin and see how the whole town goes on flame.

lol. I am from the future. The ibos will put all their baskets in one basket again in 2023, hating a man simply because he is Yoruba and antagonize him deeply even though his city is where they have their greatest freedoms and accomplishments, even more than their own land. As before, they will lose badly. That man will perform remarkably after which power will go to the north after a full republic has been established. The ibos will lose out badly because of emotional politics and internal hatred.

Youngjohnosas:
It can never get to the Oba of Benin, firstly, he carries himself with pride and wouldn’t dabble into politics.

Secondly even if he made a mistake which is normal for a human to make no governor in Edo state would dare go to an extreme length except he wants to face the wrath of the people.I repeat no governor in Edo state would dare it.

favour32:

Their roles have always been constrained to promoting culture and telling our local history. The Queen of England cannot dabble in politics.

Bro stop talking trash, The sultan is not Oba , No Edo state governor can dare make such pronunciation against the Oba of benin.its possible on paper but practically it can never happen.

The highest a governor can do here is to cut the inflow of funds to the palace,the staff of office given to the Oba is a formality and simply to fulfil all protocols.

Even the British had to invade Benin and destroy almost everything in sight before they could remove ovoranmen, so such a declaration here is going to directly lead to both physical and spiritual war in Benin and no governor would ever want to go to that length.

sharap there oba of Benin is beneath a local govt executive by law...

In 2015, Igbos decoded Buhari ahead of other Nigerians and knew exactly the type of basket Buhari was made of and chose never to follow you guys that follow ethnic and religious bias to vote the very wrong people into government. Today, am sure that they have been proved right beyond every shadows of doubt that they voted wisely. You see igbos wisdom and smartness is not ordinary. Did they not tell you that Buhari will fail woefully? Has it not happened, did your people forsee it when the Igbos saw it even before 2015 election, as far back as 2003 when they began rejecting anything Buhari. Have they not be proved right. Are they not warning you guys about Tinubu, why are they not against Osinbanjo aspirations. What the Igbo man sees sitting down, it will take a lot of standing on top of tallest building to see it. So if voting Buhari or Tinubu amounts to putting your eggs in one basket, Igbos will proudly do it over and over again, they don't owe you any explanation. Its not hatred, its about spotting the wrong the wrong eggs in a basket and isolating it before it destroys the rest of the eggs.

Youngjohnosas:
on paper mumu man , practically a local government executive won’t even dare a palace chief.

OGHENAOGIE:
you guys don't know anything... Ganduje that detrone sanusi a powerful emir of Kano then did heaven Fall... Traditional have no constitutional powers get that the queen in England has a constitutional role tell me the one oba of Benin has

Youngjohnosas:
thats why I said on paper, Position of Emir is like a democratic position with several families vying for it. The Benin traditional system isn’t same.

Few months ago when the governor was embroiled in a tussle with the palace over the returned artifacts, the palace aside nothing and allowed the people to take on the governor, in just a few days the governor denied ever having a face off with the palace.


The governor had to quickly withdraw and the artifacts were returned to the palace.there are levels to everything.Obaseki would do worse than Ganduje if the odds favored him but he knew even his subordinates would desert him if he ever dared the Oba of Benin.

OGHENAOGIE:
the oba is beneath a local govt executive...
