Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has clarified that he did not file any legal suit against Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo.
Social media rumors had suggested a court case initiated by the government against the traditional ruler, but Obaseki dismissed these claims as the work of mischief-makers.
In an official statement, Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser (media projects) to Governor Godwin Obaseki, urged residents and the public to ignore the reports.
Osagie explained that in the purported court document, the Edo State Government is actually the defendant, implying that the government is being sued.
He emphasized the government’s positive relationship with the Royal Palace and its deep respect for Oba Ewuare.
The statement reads, “The Edo State Government has no case in court against our revered Royal Father, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin.
“The rumour making the rounds on social media of an impending court case is the handiwork of enemies of the State and should be disregarded.
“As a matter of fact, in the matter being referenced by the purveyors of the fake news, the Edo State Government is a defendant, which means the State government is being sued.
“The State Government maintains a cordial relationship with the Royal Palace and holds the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, Ogidigan, in high esteem.”
Osagie labeled the rumors as fabricated and urged people to completely dismiss them. He reiterated the state government’s commitment to maintaining a peaceful relationship with all stakeholders in the state.
