‘Call Your Boys To Order’ - Oba Of Benin Tells Shaibu by BleedingPen: 6:03pm On Sep 03, 2020
The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, on Wednesday called on the Edo state deputy governor, Hon. Philip Shaibu to call his “boys (thugs)” to order, ahead of the September 19 Edo Governorship election.

Igbere TV reports that the monarch spoke at a peace meeting between Governor Godwin Obaseki of the PDP and Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC at his palace in Benin City - where both candidates signed a peace pact.

At the meeting, monitored by Igbere TV, the revered Oba who expressed concern over spate of violence in the state, issued a direct warning to Shaibu to rein in on his “boys” and halt further escalation.

Igbere TV had reported how Oba Ewuare II summoned the two major candidates, Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu, alongside their running mates to express his concern on the incessant outbreak of violence in the state ahead of the guber poll.

He said he has been having sleepless nights on the violent conduct and has held continuous prayers for peace. He urged the politicians to sue for peace and relay the message to their followers across the State.

However, during the course of the meeting, Hon. Philip Shaibu, Governor Obaseki’s running mate, earned specific mentions, over alleged direct involvement in violent clashes in the state.

“I have noted that Edo State's politics has been in the news for quite some time for all the wrong reasons. I have been having sleepless nights for some days. We are all from Edo State. We are no strangers,” the Oba said.

“Philp, they say you are the tough one inside, you must behave. Please. Tell your boys...to cease fire that your baba has told you that they should cease fire. Enough is enough! I don't want to hear shooting of guns anymore, enough is enough! Don't go and kill yourselves because of office.”

While noting that elections were not a do-or-die affair, Oba Ewuare II said politicians in Edo must note that they have only Edo State to call their own and, thus, must do everything to protect it from disintegration.

“Must it be a do-or-die affair? Do not kill yourselves because of public office. Stop the shootings. I am very sad about what is happening in Edo. This is the worst scenario. Let us eschew violence and give peace a chance in our state.

“It is for four years and at most another four years. Why will you [politicians] now want lives to be lost? Why do we hear that you people are arming boys (thugs)? Why?,” the Oba of Benin queried.

The monarch also advised Governor Obaseki “to look beyond his office” because he will not be there all the time. He said political office is transient and urged him to look at the bigger picture so that he can continue to earn the respect of all when he is no longer the governor.

On whoever emerges at the polls, Oba Ewuare urged Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu to emulate the action of former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 when he lost to President Muhammadu Buhari.

As a symbolic gesture, in his address at the Palace, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu embraced Governor Godwin Obaseki and assured the Benin monarch of his commitment to peace, describing the governor as his “senior brother.”

Why is Obaseki and his Deputy Shaibu are so desperate?
If he has performed as an incumbent and have the goodwill of the people he doesn't need all these shenanigans. He's only to ensure free, fair, credible and violent free election.

The Buhari i know won't allow federal might to overrun an incumbent governor if not Gov. Ortom would have been a history.

This thread will be scanty grin cos finally the truth about PDP unleashing mayhem against opposition has been exposed by oba.

APC supporters have been repeatedly attacked, yet PDP lackeys will say it is blackmail.the last one was when shuaibu led thugs to a community to hold them hostage because there is an influential APC man in the community that have ears of his people and refuse to decamp with obaseki.

I hope PDP fanboys can now believe obaseki is the one causing trouble in Edo state

Good, say no to bloodshed.

I think the constitution needs to be reviewed and the powers vested on the Governors are too much. I think it should be reduced to the barest minimum.

I mean for the last 6 months or thereabout, we've been inundated with too much news of a Governorship election that's yet to come, just because so many see it as a lucrative venture, so they do all sorts of diabolical things just to get there.

Reduce their powers, let the local governments be empowered, the LG's are closer to the people, like the Mayoral systems of advanced countries.

Anyway, we still thank God for this Benin Monarchy. It is still highly revered by the Edo people. It is their oldest Government; thou traditional but highly respected.

APC must have finally met their match in Obaseki/ Shuaib hence their recent cries.

It feels good to show Oshiobaba that him and his ilks doesn't have monopoly of violence.

And it feels better when Obaseki wins the election by all means as is the stock in trade of APC. Let them meet their match.

Herd of fools!

Oba should direct his warnings to Oshiomole.


Oshiomole's career is on the line and he will be the one to employ various dark strategies to secure victory but unfortunately for him,the votes of Edo people will prevail.

It will end in premium tears for Oshiomole and he will cry like Ihedioha.

Gov.Obaseki the people's governor should already start preparing for his swearing in ceremony.
