THE Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba Erediauwa, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2015 presidential election to enable him continue his good work for the country.
Erediauwa made the call, on Friday, in Abuja, while addressing State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with the president.
He said his kingdom had since embarked on special prayers for the success of the president in next year’s election.
The royal father, represented by his son, Prince Eheneden Erediauwa, said the kingdom had also embarked on special prayers for the continued survival of the country.
“My father sent me here to convey this message to Mr President that he has been following the things that have been happening in the country – all these disturbances, the distractions the president has been having.
“He considers the President his son and he has asked me to present this special message to (him), to tell the president that he is praying for him in Benin kingdom.
“He is praying fervently for him to be able to withstand the pressure; to go through the pressure and also to pray that the opportunity will come for him to continue the good work he is doing in Benin and other parts of the South-South for at least another term.
“I believe that is the commitment we have in this kind of special prayer coming from the Oba of Benin, my father,” Prince Erediauwa said.
