The Oba of Benin, Omo n’Oba Erediauwa has urged political actors to allow peace to reign in the state, particularly in the state House of Assembly.
Reacting
to the situation that followed a breakdown of law and order on the
floor of the Assembly, the monarch couseled politicians to resolve their
differences without making recourse to violence.
Crisis
broke out following the suspension of the deputy speaker, Hon Festus
Ebea and others and the counter suspension of the speaker, Hon Uyi Igbe
and the majority leader, Hon Phillip Shaibu.
The
Oba who told the politicians not to plunge the state into crisis held a
meeting with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in his palace, on Saturday to appeal to them to
allow peace reign in the state.
A
statement personally signed by the Oba of Benin reads, “I thank leaders
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) for honouring my invitation at short notice.
“I
invited you to my palace to appeal to you on the need to allow peace
continue to reign in Edo State. I know as politicians, you have ways of
resolving political issues no matter how delicate and sensitive the
issues are.
“Politicians
in Edo State, regardless of whichever political parties they belong to,
I am quite sure, will do all they can to ensure that our great state
especially, Benin City, the capital, is not made ungovernable for
political reasons. I know as citizens of Edo State, you will always do
all you can to protect our people and our land.” The statement reads.
