By The9jaTrend

Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) worldwide has lambasted Onakakanfo, Iba Gani Adams for congratulating His Royal Majesty, Omo N' Oba N' Edo, Uku Akpolokpolor, Oba Ewuare II,  on the recent Oranmiyan festival celebration by the Benin Monarch.

In a press statement issued and signed by its President, Elder Curtis Eghosa Ugbo said that Gani Adams is too small to have commended the Benin Monarch as the Oba celebrated his Oranmiyan festival.

"Adams is too small to be appreciating our Reverend Royal Father, Omo N' Oba N' Edo, Uku Akpolokpolor, Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin Kingdom. The Yoruba are children of the Benin Kingdom and he shouldn't be the one to tell us about the history and relationship between them. 

"Oranmiyan was a Benin Prince that founded Oyo and Ile-Ife, Gani Adams should kindly apply to come to the Oba of Benin's Palace for him to be taught the proper history of the Benins and Yorubas."

Elder Curtis Ugbo said that the Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) had to speedily come forward to put the records straight before Iba Adams succeed in confusing/deceiving the people.

It will be recalled that in the Tribune online publication of May 20, 2021 Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has commended the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II for celebrating the age-long Oranmiyan Festival, saying it was noteworthy that the Benin monarch truly identified with Yoruba history by bridging the gap between Yoruba and Benin Kingdom.
