“We, the traditional rulers from Esanland, went round the state to appeal for the support to produce the governor and today it’s a reality. We thank the Oba of Benin Kingdom, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare ll and we are grateful to all for the support. We believe that the governor will deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Edo State,” he said.
