Oba of Benin Lauds Gov. Wike's Leadership Style

The Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, has commended the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for his purposeful style of leadership in handling national and state issues.

Oba Ewuare II made the commendation when  Governor Wike who is also the Chairman, PDP National Campaign Council for the 2020 Edo State Governorship Election, the PDP candidate and Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and his Delta State counterpart, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and other members of the PDP National Campaign Council paid him a courtesy call at his palace in Benin, Edo State.
The Edo Monarch noted that he has keenly watched the activities of the governor on national television over the years with admiration.

He  particularly commended Governor Wike for rescuing the former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Dr. Joi Nunieh, from the hands of armed policemen.

He recalled his visit to Rivers State aimed at strengthening ties between the people of the  two states and also lauded him for the  hospitality accorded him and his entourage.

The Oba of Benin  noted that Governor Wike's patriotism led him to appeal to him to intervene and resolve the political feud between Governor Godwin Obaseki and his predecessor, the then National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.

He restated  the apolitical position of the Benin Traditional stool and assured of his prayers for peaceful campaigns  as well as the  stability of the state and nation.

Earlier, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike said the visit was to seek the Oba's royal blessing for the commencement of the party's campaign in his kingdom.

Governor Wike who noted the revered tradition of the ancient Benin Kingdom, assured the monarch of his continued respect for the  traditional institution.

He promised to return to the place on a thank you visit after the victory of the party at the September 19, 2020 governorship election
