Oba of Benin Names New Chief to Replace Suspended Leader

On Wednesday, Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, instructed the Enogie (Duke) of Iguogie Dukedom, Festus Osagiede Aiyeki, to manage the matters of the nearby Evbolekpen Dukedom located within the Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State on his behalf.

This followed the indefinite suspension of the Enogie of Evbolekpen, Chief Ebabulele Obanosa, and others who led a rebellion against the Benin monarchy.

Aiyeki, who has been presiding over Iguogie, Igue-otor, Igue-Edobor, and Evboro villages, will, in addition, oversee Evbolekpen Dukedom in collaboration with the elders in the area.

The instruction from the Oba was communicated by Chief Stanley Obamwonyi, the Esere of Benin, during a meeting with the concerned village leaders at the palace in Benin.

Esere, accompanied by other palace chiefs, instructed Aiyeki in front of the elders from Iguogie and Evbolekpen villages to manage Evbolekpen according to the palace’s directives.

He stated, "You know that the Enogie of Evbolekpen has been suspended by the Oba. The Iguogie Dukedom is located near you."

"Omo N'Oba N'Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, Oba of Benin has instructed us to inform you that starting today, the Enogie of Iguogie will be responsible for overseeing Evbolekpen on his behalf," he stated.

Chief Esere counseled the Enogie of Iguogie to collaborate with the elders of Evbolekpen, headed by its Odionwere, Pa Gabriel Ukhure, and avoid engaging in any illegal actions.

He said that Oba Ewuare was committed to reshaping the Benin Kingdom for the general welfare of its inhabitants.

In response, Aiyeki vowed to fulfill his responsibilities as outlined by the Oba of Benin and assured progress throughout the different villages under his jurisdiction.

Additionally, Pa Ukhure, representing the Elders of Evbolekpen, expressed commitment to supporting the Oba’s decision and extended gratitude for his prompt action.
