Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, led a delegation to Benin for the official flag-off of the party’s campaign for its Edo 2020 Gubernatorial candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Explaining the reason for the visit, Buni says that they came to the royal majesty for his blessings.
On a visit to the palace of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba expressed deep sadness at the happenings in the state.
He further explained that the palace would never take sides by picking a candidate and that the Oba remains a ‘father’ to all the children of the state.
“As you go about your campaign, go about it peacefully and without bitterness,” the monarch counselled. “We see every candidate as our child and we pray for everybody. It is wiser to leave the fate of the election to God.”
