OUR DEMANDS
In the light of the above, the Concerned People of Benin Nation (CPBN), on behalf of the good people of Edo state call on Governor Godwin Obaseki, to as a matter of urgency and within SEVEN (7) days of the publication of this press statement right the aforetasted wrongs in the manner, to wit:
a) Render an UNRESERVED WRITTEN PUBLIC APOLOGY to the Oba of Benin Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare II, to be published in at least three (3) national newspapers, for his sacrilegious disrespect to the throne of the Benin Kingdom.
b) Stop the abominable spiteful construction of a museum for the repatriated artefacts of the Benin Kingdom without the concurrence of the Omo N’Oba.
c) Withdraw all lawsuits instigated and filed by some Enigie against the Omo N’Oba.
d) Reallocate lands/properties comprised in the maliciously revoked Certificates of Occupancy of Pst. Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Hon. Pius Odubu, Prof. Julius Ihonvvere, Chief Oseni Elamah and Captain. Hosa Okunbor among others.
e) Return the communal lands illegally acquired by Governor Godwin Obaseki for reasons other than overriding public interest or purpose.
f) Payment of the salaries and allowances of the duly elected 14 members of the Edo State House of Assembly unconstitutionally denied of their seats for four years by Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Ladies and gentlemen, without a scintilla of doubt, the message is loud and clear because ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Long Live Edo State,
Long live the great Benin kingdom.
Oba ghato kpere,… Ise!
