Edo Kingship Tussle: Niger Delta Youth Leader Condemns Oba of Beninโ€™s Attempts to Control Other Ethnic Groups, Iganke,

By Egbemavoice, The Niger Delta Youth Leader has strongly condemned the actions of the Oba of Benin, calling them unethical, untraditional, and unconstitutional. The Obaโ€™s alleged attempt to assert authority over other ethnic nationalities in Edo State, particularly the Ika people of Iganke Ndi Eze, is viewed as an abominable act, not only in the Niger Delta but in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Recently, the Oba of Benin reportedly ordered the people of Iganke Ndi Eze to submit to the authority of an Odiower under his leadership. However, the Ika people have no historical or cultural ties to the Bini tribe, aside from being part of the same state, Edo. This act is seen as an overreach of traditional authority and a violation of Nigeriaโ€™s constitutional provisions. In Nigeria, traditional rulers serve as custodians of their ethnic groupโ€™s culture and norms, but they do not hold constitutional powers. The country operates under a presidential system of government...
