“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.

“As a result, we would not allow the Benin to suffer, therefore, we on the side of Oba, have all decided to support anyone that will assist Oba to develop Edo.”

While recounting the famed legendary strength of ‘Akpakomiza’, Enogie Osagiede expressed confidence that Senator Monday Okpebholo will fight the battle for Benins.

“Now ‘Akpakomiza’ is back, he will fight this battle for us! Oba ghato, okpere,” the Enogie added.
