Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 21 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 the occasion of the 8th coronation anniversary of the revered monarch.
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 stated.
The letter further reads in parts:
"Your Majesty, your rule has been characterized 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!!"
