Barely 48 hours some palace chiefs in benin city, announced
the endorsement of the people democratic party candidates, pastor osagie
Ize-Iyamu, another set has denied the support.
The chiefs, under the name of Nedoghama Nedo, belonging to
the Egha Evbo Nore in the palace had adopted the PDPs candidates.
It was learnt that the decision to adopt Ize Iyamu was taken
at the wwekend at the residence of the Esama of benin, Gabriel Igbinedion.
The chiefs, said to be mainly businessmen and professionals,
urges the voters to support the PDPs candidate.
But, another set of palace chiefs denied the endorsement.
They accused the other chiefs of being card- carrying members of the PDP.
They warned those involved not to drag the palace into the
murky waters of politics adding that the purported endorsement was laughable.
The Obazelu of Benin Kingdom, Osaro Idah said that if the
palace must speak on any issue, it is either done through the Iyase of benin
kingdom or the Esogban, who is the head of benin forum.
The palace never calls for support for any candidate. We
always pray for the best to emerge.
