Edo Will Not Fall! Oba OF Benin Issues Stern Warning To Evil Elements

The monarch stated that Governor Okpebholo was destined by his forebears to restore Edo’s former glory. This declaration was made during Governor Okpebholo’s solidarity visit to the Oba’s palace in Benin, following his victory at the Edo Governorship Election Tribunal, which affirmed his election.

The Oba referred to Okpebholo as a true son of the land and invoked ancestral blessings upon him and his family for standing firm against the machinations of wrongdoers seeking to harm the state.

In a symbolic gesture, the Oba raised Okpebholo from his kneeling position, expressing confidence in the governor’s potential to bring substantial progress to the region.

Speaking in the Edo language, Oba Ewuare said, “May all be well with you, your wife, and your children. Your journey to Edo is endorsed by our ancestors. Our ancestors brought you to restore the lost glory of Edo State, which evildoers sought to destroy. We have been praying and will continue to pray for you, so evil forces do not overrun Edo.”

Governor Okpebholo expressed his gratitude to the Oba for his unwavering support and his advocacy for Edo State. He described his tribunal victory as a historic achievement, calling it the “sweetest judgment ever,” as all three judges on the panel unanimously agreed on his win.
