Edo Indigenous Movement felicitates with Benin Monarch over wife's delivery of quadruplets

-

The President and founder of Edo Indigenous Movements (EIM), also known as Edo Progressive Indigenous Association (EPIA), Dr Bishop Omogiade Enoyiogiere Edokpolo, has described as a sign of good things to happen to Edo people, the delivery of quadruplets from the fifth wife of Oba Equate 11, the Oba of Benin, Princess (Oloi) Esosa Ewuare II into the Benin Royal family.

Dr Bishop Omogiade Edokpolo said this while answering questions from newsmen in Benin City. He said the multiple births have attracted attention and that there was generally a great deal of fascination about the concept of more than one baby being born at the same time. 

"Different cultures view multiple births in diverse ways. For us in Edo, multiples are seen as a blessing from God and a sign that they shared one soul which had been split between the two. We see their existence being attributable to the blessing from an almighty God.

"Edo indigenes both in diaspora and at home heartily felicitate with our monarch, especially as we prepare for our international cultural carnival coming up in January, 2022. EPIA has members in most of the countries of the world and is saddled with the responsibility of empowering Edo indigenes worldwide", the EIM leader said.

The Oba of Benin, His Majesty Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II Friday made the announcement at 4:57p.m in his palace when he received the national leadership of Immaculate Conception College Old Boys Association (ICCOBA). The monarch gave the sexes of the babies as three boys and one girl.

Recall that the Oba had in May 2020, welcome his first infant Prince after he ascended the throne of his forebears as the 40th Oba of Benin from her Royal Highness, Princess (Oloi) Iyayota Ewuare II.

Princess (Oloi) Esosa Ewuare II is the youngest among the wives of the traditional ruler.

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
