Palace raises alarm over plan to install Hausa traditional ruler in Benin

The Benin Traditional Council (BTC), has warned against a planned installation and turbaning of an Hausa traditional ruler in Benin city.

The BTC in a statement on Thursday by the Iyase (Prime Minister) of Benin Kingdom, Chief Sam Igbe, noted that a certain Alhaji Danjuma Garba Binkola is to be installed as ‘Garkuwan Hausawa Benin’ on Sunday 5 May, 2024.

Igbe who frowned seriously at the planned turbaning ceremony, described it as a violation of Benin Traditional and Customary Law.

The statement while alerting the Edo State Police Command, other security agencies and the general public on the serious implications of the ceremony, urged organisers of the turbaninig ceremony to refrain from violating the sanctity of the Benin Traditional and Customary Law.

“It has come to the notice of the Benin Traditional Council (BTC) that an individual claiming to be known as ‘His Royal Highness Alh. Adamu Isah Adamu’ and who describes himself as ‘Sarkin Hausawa’ plans to perform a Turbaning ceremony in which one “Alh. Danjuma Garba Binkola” will be installed as “Garkuwan Hausawa Benin” on Sunday 5th May, 2024 at No. 7 Butcher Street, Off Mission Road, Benin City.


“The BTC hereby inform the Nigerian Police Force and other security agencies as well as the general public that this planned event is a violation of Benin Traditional and Customary Law applicable to chieftaincy matters and therefore must NOT HOLD under any circumstances.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the BTC wish to emphasize that as the Prescribed Authority on Chieftaincy Matters within the Seven Local Government Areas of Edo South Senatorial District, the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, His Royal Majesty Ewuare II, Oba of Benin has not given consent to, or approved the turbaning or conferment of chieftaincy title by whatever name called on any individual by the name “Alh. Danjuma Garba Binkola”; or permitted any person by the name “His Royal Highness Alh. Adamu Isah Adamu” to hold any such ceremony in Benin City or any other part of Edo South Senatorial District, Edo State.

“Consequently, these errant individuals are hereby urged to refrain from violating the sanctity of the Benin Traditional and Customary Law by cancelling the planned ceremony forthwith.”

Humn! There goes another one. Tradition remains tradition.

This hausa get cunning sense.. imagine.

They want to install their king in Benin so that they would have freedom to do and undo, and if they tres they wont listen to Oba Ewuare anymore but their king.

They will even value their king more than the traditional Benin king , and after 150years, they will be claiming and be miseducationing the naive generation that their papa(the hausas forefathers) and the Binis forefathers tly brought the great kingdom into existence.

They would even want to be contesting for the governor if care is not taken

SaLongs1:
The scenario you've painted is one that is currently playing out in States like Plateau in the Middle-belt where I come from.

Yes na, what was those rulers who harboured them in those days thinking??

If I have a city or town or settlement I can never alow a stranger to even hold a position of chieftancy not to tall of having their own king.

I lord over every affairs in my domain and whoever not satisfied should move away..
Not because of me or my immediate children, it's plainly because of the incoming but far away generation who would not have the clear picture of how things panned out then and would not have much evidence and power to undo what I have done..

Benin Royal family should send letter to Kano and seek for the Emir's approval to build Palace for a Benin Traditional Ruler there. If approved then allow Seriki Hausa to be installed in Benign but if denied chase him away

The only thing you need in Nigeria to be happy is data and power bank . Funny stories everywhere 😅
What do I even know sef aside been shocked at what I read online and enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news.

Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooo because boreholes aka non-virgins can't be trusted

Aboki Aboki


ZOO!!!!

As they don see una finish

They will tell you it's only their traditional head and not an emir blablabla

Awú sa fool ani should at all times be watched, give them one plot of land and they spread to use 200.

They want to install bandits as traditional ruler for inside Benin republic in Nigeria

Why are these people always daring their host?
This will certainly not end well for them.

Hmmmm, it is well

ok

Lol... Make all of una dey sleep for Southern Nigeria.

E go be Una like film one day.

Warning comes just once, if you like listen, if you like, don't listen.

Edo people no dey make noise.

What is wrong with these guys. Must you try to penetrate evey where by force?

Seek permission from owners of the land first

***folds arms***



Benin nor be SW






Meanwhile,Oba should as a matter of fact desist from meddling with naija politicians and uphold the reverence which the Benin kingdom commands among the traditional stools in naija.


Oba of Benin is,and remains the only true first class traditional ruler in naija,with a well deep rooted ancestral pedigree.

When people are power drunk.
This is the result.

Benin no be north

Sharia no dey benin

This is Nigeria

I hope they are enjoying some backing from some top Benin Individuals.

Well
Emilokon govt may frown at it but if it were Buhari, nothing would have happened

Why is Lamidi Amoda Sangodele no longer talking about restructuring? Was it all pretense?

This is Nigeria 🤡

Small time we go hear Emir of Benin Kingdom....


Ilorin comes to mind.
