Ayekotoo:
Direct primary is the best form of democratic process. It eradicates consensus candidature.
That is not advisable during a pandemic like the COVID-19.

Well Obas, Emirs and other traditional titles and privileged must stop. He talks about democracy yet he is the epitome of born to rule autocracy.

Benin should have a democratically elected mayor not hereditary Oba!

It seems Oba Edo wants the same treatment like Sanusi... I thought people said he doesn't interfere with political issue...

Make he no go pass him boundary, that Frog called oshomole no get fear ooo. gringringrin
He speaks in a manner couched but his subjects understand him perfectly unlike Sanusi who has the tendency to be reckless in his utterances.

You are wrong.

His Royal Majesty want to maintain NEUTRALITY !

The Oba of Benin is also being CALCULATIVE.

He spoke when the main fighters have gone their separate ways.

Obaseki on his way to PDP

Oshiomole has been served suspension grounding his office away from his control.

In other words the Oba spoke at a time Both CONTENDERS have cross their bridges.

Re: 'Godfatherism Must End’ — Ewuare, Oba Of Benin Speaks On Edo Election by Nobody:
Ya.

The people should be allowed to choose whoever is good, for them.

Godfatherism is not far from dictatorship.

Godfatherism barely allows governors/politicians to consider the citizens; they will be busy waiting for orders i.e do this and do that from the godfather.

It better for citizens to demand the politicians to do this and do that, instead of the so called godfather.

Abeg I no get anything to eat today; make una help me.

I haven't seen any work to do, since 6 o'clock.

Have gone to many sites, but non of them are in need of more workers.

Slawormir, u better warn ur oba
Keep quiet , stop yearning dust....There were rumours in Benin that the Oba ask some aspirant to step down for Ize-Iyamu, in order to have a consensus candidate, that's why the Oba is coming out openly to denounce such rumors that he will never be partisan and will never supports Godfatherism and consensus in a democratic setting....read and understand....



Hausa Buzu and Great Benin Na thesame ?... Not even any president can try that wit the Oba of Benin , let alone Oshobaba ...Oba of Benin ha salways been neutral ....who ever wins will always pay homage and respect....Edo State cannot pay Oba of Benin ...the federal govt pays him ...all contestants both in PDP, APC, SDP, Kowa are all his children ....Oba of Benin is like that of Oni of Ife , but not like Oba of Lagos , tho, Oba of Lagos is under the Oba of Benin and even Ife....be guided pls

Who dey respect and fear ur oba in Nigeria.

Na una dey respect and fear him.

He is no different or greater than his brothers with same title.

Factfinder1:
How else noticed how Dino melaye has been quiet and out of our political spheres he didn't say or post anything about the rifts between obaseki and oshomole or the crisis in APC and aso rock... Dino melaye is a friend of Hushpuppi,they do deals together and he has been scared of his name not been mentioned or dented he has been looking for was to run out of Nigeria to go settle where it will be hard to track him down. As times goes by we will see and hear what's Truely happening
You're also part of the cartel of Dino and Hush to know they both strike deals together. If you aren't there, never be certain. embarassed cool

It is not only the Federal Government paying the Oba of Benin, it is United Nations paying him. Village boy. Your Oba is an employee of the Edo State Government and both him, his land and his subjects are properties of the Edo State Government.

Here is Oshiomhole giving him his staff of office. Hope you saw the cloth Oshiomole wore?

Here is another picture of your Oba seated at the back of other rulers when traditional rulers are seated according to ranking.
