Oba Erediauwa
Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State were yesterday disappointed after the Benin monarch, Oba Erediauwa, refused to endorse their candidate, Maj-Gen Charles Airhiavbere.
PDP state Chairman Dan Orbih led party faithful to the palace to seek royal blessings.
A palace chief, Amos Osunbor, who prayed on behalf of the monarch, did not pray for the PDP candidate but prayed that God should give the state a governor who will turn Benin to a modern city and provide infrastructure..'"We are concerned about the high taxation and demolition of houses. This is not the dream of our state."
But the Benin monarch interrupted him, saying: "I will not allow you to use my palace as a soap box."
