Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has applauded the people and traditional leaders of Ewu Kingdom in Esan Central LGA for upholding peace despite the ongoing royal succession dispute between HRH Barr. Razak Ojeifo and Prince Jafaru Israel Ojeifo.

The governor’s message was delivered by his Chief of Staff, Hon. Musa Yakubu, when a delegation from Ewu Kingdom visited Government House, Benin City.

Speaking on behalf of Okpebholo, Hon. Yakubu commended the community for its patience, wisdom, and orderly conduct throughout the disagreement. He said their calm approach prevented tension from escalating and kept the door open for dialogue and settlement.

The Chief of Staff assured the delegation that the governor is committed to fairness, justice, and lasting peace in every part of Edo. He noted that the concerns raised by Ewu leaders will be treated with priority.

“I want to assure you that all your requests have been noted and will be presented to the governor. You will get feedback soon. Governor Okpebholo’s focus remains peace, progress, and the welfare of every Edo community,” Yakubu said.

Earlier, Secretary of the Ewu Development Association, Prof. Bartholomew Uzoya Akagbosu, thanked the governor for ongoing development projects in Ewu Kingdom and across Esanland. He acknowledged the administration’s focus on infrastructure and people-centered policies, which residents have been benefiting from.

Prof. Akagbosu, however, urged the governor to step in and help resolve the kingship conflict between the two claimants. He said settling the matter peacefully would boost unity, stability, and growth in the kingdom.

The meeting ended with both sides reaffirming their commitment to work together for peace, development, and unity in Ewu Kingdom and Edo State at large.
