GOVERNOR OBASEKI STOPS THE CORONATION OF ALHAJI IDRISS ADDANO AS THE SULTAN OF BENIN

There cannot be two kings in Benin Kingdom. It is an abomination. The Oba remains the paramount king of Benin Kingdom.

The organizers have now cancelled the coronation and issued an apology to the governor of the state.

"We are all law-abiding citizens and under the laws of the state. We are also loyal to our royal father, the Oba old Benin, who is a father to all of us. We apologise to the state government for the mix-up and as law abiding citizens, we have also cancelled all the activities we wanted to do as directed by the state government." the proposed Sultan said.
