Tension In Benin Over Planned Coronation Of Sultan Of Edo State

Plans by some northern Islamic leaders in Benin to coronate one
Idris Adanno as Sultan of Shuwa Arab of Edo State, is gradually
generating palpable tension across Benin Kingdom.

The coronation ceremony is slated to hold on Saturday, August
21, 2021, at Rialto Hotel, Eyaen, a suburb community in Benin
City.

Interestingly, the Hotel is owned by a Duke in Benin Kingdom,
HRH Osazuwa Iduriase.

Invitation card to the coronation ceremony was sighted on
Facebook

Prominent Benin Youths who reacted on Facebook frowned at the
planned coronation of a Sultan within the Kingdom.

In his reaction, the President of Benin Solidarity Movement
(BSM), Elder Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, said Benin indigenes will do
whatever it will take to resist what he described as an “evil act”
by persons who are bent on fomenting trouble.

“This will never happen in Benin Kingdom, we are Benin,” Ugbo
added.

Also reacting, the Coordinator-General of Great Benin
Descendants (GBD), Imasuen Izoduwa said the organization would meet
and lock up the hotel venue of the coronation, for allowing “such
nonsense” in the land.
“We will meet later today so we can lock up that hotel by tomorrow
or next for allowing such nonsense in our land. Enough is enough, I
will no longer take any of this in our Kingdom,” he said.

Efforts to reach mobile phones numbers on the card for a
reaction failed as the numbers failed to connect.
