Greetings To His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, from the Hon. Minister of Niger Delta Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh FNSE

“On behalf of the good people of the Niger Delta and the Ministry of Niger Delta Development, I, Engr. Abubakar Momoh FNSE, extend my warmest congratulations to His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, as you mark your 71st birthday, which coincides with the 8th anniversary of your ascension to the revered throne of your ancestors.

Since your coronation as the 40th Oba of Benin in 2016, Your Majesty’s reign has been marked by remarkable achievements, not only for the Benin Kingdom but also for Edo State and the entire region. You have been a steadfast advocate for harmony, cultural preservation, and fostering peace, providing a guiding light for your people and beyond.

During your reign, the symbolic return of some Benin artefacts has marked a significant milestone in reclaiming the rich heritage and history of the illustrious Benin Kingdom.

Your leadership has transcended the traditional borders of the Benin Kingdom, positively influencing the entirety of Edo State and contributing to the region’s progress. Your Majesty has served as a voice of unity, fostering collaboration across communities, which has enhanced development efforts and strengthened ties between the Kingdom and the Niger Delta region. Your exemplary leadership continues to inspire confidence and encourages a spirit of collective progress and cultural pride.

On this remarkable double celebration, I offer prayers for your continued good health, wisdom, and prosperity. May your reign remain as illustrious as your legacy, and may the people of the Benin Kingdom continue to thrive under your leadership.

Long live His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II! Long live the Benin Kingdom!”

Sincerely,
Engr. Abubakar Momoh FNSE
Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Development
