Don’t step into my palace to desecrate it – Enogie of Eyaen rebukes Godwin Obaseki, rejects his gifts





The Enogie (Duke) of Eyaen Dukedom in Benin city, HRH A.O. Iduriase, has disgraced the APC candidate, Godwin Obaseki, when the latter went to Eyaen to campaign for votes.

When the Campaign organization of Godwin Obaseki visited Eyaen, the Enogie ordered that it was a taboo to allow an enemy of Eyaen entry into the Palace for any reason. Godwin Obaseki was stopped at the entrance to the palace by palace guards apparently on the orders of the great Duke.

The visibly angry Royal father is reported to have poured insults on the APC governorship aspirant on hearing that he was at the gate. “The Obaseki’s have been enemies of the Eyaen Kingdom for over a century” He was reported to have said.

The Duke said that he wasn’t going to bring a curse upon the community by allowing Godwin Obaseki desecrate the Palace. Disappointed, Obaseki left Eyaen community and  went to Aduwawa with his campaign team where he met a small crowd of APC members in the area.
