I stand firm against anything that would damage the Oba of Benin’s esteemed legacy,” declares Akpata.
Here’s a condensed version:
Olumide Akpata, Labour Party candidate for the 2024 Edo State gubernatorial election, has pledged not to participate in any actions that tarnish the reputation of The Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare II. Akpata made this vow in response to recent controversy over remarks made during the Labour Party’s flag-off ceremony in Edo State. He clarified his statement about being a “son of the palace” and acknowledged the Oba’s correction to “an indigenous illustrious son of the soil.” Akpata condemned any disrespectful reactions to the Oba, emphasizing his commitment to upholding the Benin Kingdom’s cultural heritage and fostering unity in Edo State.
