The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last month’s governorship election in Edo State, Dr. Asue Ighodalo has sent warm felicitations to the Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, on his eighth coronation anniversary.
In a letter he personally signed on Sunday, Ighodalo extolled the sterling qualities of the monarch which, he said, have endeared him to all and sundry.
“Your enduring efforts towards peace, social development, and progress have solidified your position not just as a custodian of our history, but as a transformative leader for present and future generations”, Ighodalo said.
The letter further reads : “Your Majesty, your rule has been characterised by a profound commitment to the preservation of our cherished cultural heritage; and an uncommon love for your people. Your enduring efforts towards peace, social development, and progress have solidified your position not just as a custodian of our history, but as a transformative leader for present and future generations.
“May this anniversary bring renewed vigor and divine favor upon you and the Kingdom. May you continue to be blessed with good health, long life, and the wisdom to guide the Benin Kingdom.
“With utmost reverence and respect, we join you in celebrating this great day; and wish you a long and fulfilling reign.
“Oba Gha to Kpere, Ise”!!
