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.

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.
