[Press Release] I, Rt Hon Chief Festus Odianose Ebea* on behalf of myself and family wish to extend my hearty congratulations to His Royal Majesty Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo Uku Akpolokpolo,
Oba Ewuare II,
Oba of Benin Kingdom, on the joyous occasion of your birthday anniversary and your 7th year coronation anniversary as the 40th Oba of Benin Kingdom.

These dual anniversaries present us with a remarkable opportunity to celebrate and recognize your selfless dedication and immeasurable contributions to the development, preservation, and harmony of the Benin Kingdom. Your wise and noble leadership have not only brought immense pride to the people of Edo State but have also left an indelible impact on the lives of countless individuals.

Since your ascendancy to the exalted throne of your forebears, Benin kingdom and indeed Edo State has witnessed an incredible transformation under your benevolent reign. Your dedication to fostering peace, unity, and progress within our communities has laid a strong foundation for growth and prosperity. Your Royal Majesty’s remarkable achievements in the areas of traditional social stratification, Community administration, education, healthcare, infrastructure, culture, and tourism have brought about unprecedented advancements for the citizens of Edo State.
The disbandment of the notorious CDA Chairmen’s activities across the state and the Presidential recognition of ownership and an order vesting custody and management of repatriated looted Benin artefacts to the Oba of Benin as contained in the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Notice No. 25 in an official Gazette No. 57, Volume 110 at pages A245-247, dated March 23, 2023 are some of the landmark achievements.

Furthermore, Your Royal Majesty, your persistent efforts to empower youth and women, promote entrepreneurship, and attract investments have not only created employment opportunities but have also significantly improved the socioeconomic well-being of our people. Your visionary leadership and relentless pursuit of excellence have set new benchmarks for governance, inspiring many to follow in your footsteps.
