You Go Explain Tire:  Edo Residents Reject Obaseki/Ighodalo Over Attempted Humiliation of Royal Kingdom.

 

Yesterday, the internet was abuzz with outrage as Benin City streets overflowed with anger over the attempted public humiliation of His Royal Majesty, Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, the revered Oba of Benin.

Governor Obaseki, having heeded the counsel, has instructed his party to issue a memo urging the parties involved in the lawsuit to withdraw their case. This strategic move aims to prevent any perception of involvement in the suit. Similarly, the Asue campaign organization has taken a similar stance. However, Obaseki’s administration continues to engage in explanations, highlighting the ongoing efforts to address the situation.

Edo people are enraged and have resolved to oppose Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie, the State Secretary to the Government, who coincidentally serves as his running mate in the gubernatorial election. They perceive this alignment as a deliberate effort to perpetuate and conclude the conflict that Obaseki has long waged against the palace. According to them, an Asue victory in the gubernatorial race would signify the fulfillment of Obaseki’s purported nefarious agenda.

Obaseki’s conduct, notably extending invitations to the suspended enigies and chiefs for government functions, has sparked accusations of endorsing their rebellious endeavors. This has led to speculation regarding his alleged involvement in their activities. As the saying goes, “When you see a lion’s cub roaring, know that its mother is not far off.” In this scenario, the drumbeat heard from a distance likely echoes the orchestrated efforts of unseen, skilled hands.

Edo residents firmly assert that they are fully cognizant of Obaseki’s involvement in these perceived sacrilegious and abominable acts. They hold the revered Oba of Benin in the highest regard, viewing him as a direct descendant of God on Earth.

The people of Edo are resolute, echoing the sentiment expressed by Godsday Orubebe: “WE WON’T TAKE IT.”

This intricate situation presents a formidable obstacle for Asue Ighodalo’s campaign. The gubernatorial candidate’s commitment to continuing Obaseki’s agenda only intensifies the discontent among the people.
