Several important chiefs in Benin Kingdom under the umbrella body of “N Edo Gha’ma n’Edo”, a socio-cultural group which great Chiefs of the Benin Kingdom are key members, Friday endorsed the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for governorship in the forthcoming Edo 2016 election.
“The Benin Kingdom has decided” one of the chiefs who preferred not to be named told our correspondent.
“Although we are not supposed to be actively partisan but this matter at hand requires everyone in the kingdom to stand up and be counted on the Chief Ero side of Benin Kingdom. This is not a matter of PDP against APC. It is beyond that.

This is a matter between a traitorous family and our monarchy in reincarnation and we must stand to correct all the mistakes of the past by defending our king and our history, even if the price is our blood – let alone ‘political correctness’.
To show which side of the divide we are, we are not afraid to state it now – we endorse PDP. APC knows this hence they postponed the election hoping that they will manipulate the outcome or rig the election. But I tell you the truth Obaseki shall not be governor even for one night. APC may have postponed the election but they only postponed their doomsday!” The chief said.
