Oba Of Benin Urges Truce In APC Edo South Senatorial Primary Dispute

Earlier, Ogbeide-Ihama presented his result sheet to the Oba and said the APC national leadership had not yet issued a certificate of return to the declared winner. He claimed that the results from the party’s national committee showed he won by a wide margin.

Ogbeide-Ihama added that as a Benin son, he was pledging loyalty to the Oba and seeking the palace’s prayers while awaiting the party’s final decision.

The delegation included Edo State Deputy Governor Dennis Idahosa; former Deputy Governor and Edo South APC leader Pius Odubu; Edo State APC Chairman Jarrett Tenebe; and other party officials.
