The Enogie of Iguogie Dukedom in Ovia North East Local Government Area, His Royal Highness, Festus Osagiede who led the Enigies explained that they decided to endorsed the APC candidate to preserve the sanctity and honour of the Benin Palace and the king.

“Am the coordinator of Enigies in Edo South, we are saying fervently, that we are solidly behind the APC.

“We are children of Oba of Benin, we do not disobey the palace. Obaseki (Governor Godwin Obaseki) used some Enigies to attack the palace, but they are not here. We will not allow anyone to ridicule the palace.

“We are aware that the governor has enormous power and immunity, but we believe that Obaseki’s immunity is irrelevant compared to that of our father, Oba Ewuare.
