Oshiomhole Bans Edo Farmers From Paying Dubious Royalty To Igbinedion





Governor Adams Oshiomhole has stopped farmers currently farming in government reserved forest at Okada, Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State from paying N40m annual royalty to Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin kingdom.
It was gathered that the land was leased to Chief Igbinedion who later sublet to individual farmers for a certain amount of money.
Chief Igbinedion, father of the former Governor of the state, Lucky Igbinedion, is widely known for his flamboyance.
Locals say he actually regards himself as an authority in the ancient state.
