The Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Ewuare II, on Sunday, in Lagos, noted the diversity and unity of Nigeria, saying, “We should learn to live together like one big family”.
The Benin monarch stressed the need for unity in Nigeria while on a visit to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State at the Lagos House, Marina.
He said the diversity and unity of Nigeria made the country big and the giant of Africa. According to him, it is good for Nigerians to be together, and iron out the differences between different groups.
“Nigerians should know that diversity is good for the people. Nigeria is big but we are still together. We will remain together like this but have to iron out our differences. We should learn to live together like one big family,” he said.
The Oba further congratulated President Bola Tinubu, saying that it was the will of God that he would be the President of the country.
He also congratulated Governor Sanwo-Olu on his re-election and urged him to uphold his electoral promises to the masses.
Reacting, Sanwo-Olu thanked the Oba of Benin for visiting, as he rarely left his kingdom, hence, Lagos would not take such a visit for granted.
