Edo: Obaseki battles Oba of Benin
Legit.ng earlier reported that Governor Godwin Obaseki-led Edo state government has insisted that the ban on Okaigheles (youth leaders) in the seven local governments under the Benin Kingdom will not be lifted.
This is contradictory to the Oba of Benin's palace's position that the kingdom has not banned the Okaigheles and that they remain part of the traditional administrative structure.
Earlier, Governor Obaseki said the ban on the Okaigheles was part of his administration's efforts to tackle insecurity in the state.
