Although Anenih did nada when he was in that ministry too. . .

Beaf:

The Oba has done well, it might even be better to banish the man from Edo state (where he hails from). That road has been a bloody eyesore for as long as I know.
People should actually be shot.

Rhino.5dm:

@ bold.

You took that from my mouth. was he hibernating when lucky was busy stuffing the money meant for Edo people abroad?? I see another pastor Bakare in the making, when will the Oba declare his intentions for governorship?? kind of asking.

Justcash: I wish more Nigerian Monarchs can emulate the Oba of Benin.


PIQUED by the inability of the Federal Government to fix the dilapidated Benin-Ore-Lagos road despite several years of complaints by road users, Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa yesterday walked out the Minister of State for Works, Chris Ogiemwonyi, from his palace, saying that he would not be welcomed in the palace again until the road was fixed.

The minister was in company of other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who had visited the monarch to present the party’s candidates for various elective positions in Edo South in April election.

Oba Erediauwa upbraided the minister for subjected his subjects travelling from Lagos and those coming from abroad to hardship because of the state of the road.

But the PDP chieftains present, including Edo South Leader of the party, Owere Imasogie, Senator Daisy Danjuma as well as a Benin chief appealed to the monarch for more than 10 minutes to spare the minister.

But the Oba insisted that his chief who pleaded the minister’s cause should stand surety for him that the road would be completed by the end of the year.
Ogiemwonyi, in his defence which seemed unconvincing to the Oba, said major parts of the road leading from Ofosu to Benin have been rehabilitated and that the Federal Government was already concluding arrangement to start work on the Ofosu to Lagos axis of the road.

It would be recalled that the minister during his inspection of the road two weeks ago ordered the construction company to move one of their gangs to begin rehabilitation work from the Benin end of the road.
