This statement was made when Peter Obi, the Labour Party&#8217;s 2023 presidential candidate, brought Akpata to the palace for royal blessings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some who call themselves children of the palace, and others distantly related who may not be exactly from the royal home but can also use that title. When Akpata said he is a palace child, I asked my chiefs to verify, and I don\u2019t know about him,\u201d the Oba stated.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that this clarification was necessary for the public. \u201cWe know him well; he is a diligent son of the soil. He is a true Indigenous son of the soil, but to call him a child of the palace, I don\u2019t know if any of them are politicians,\u201d the Oba continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, I hope you don\u2019t mind that clarification. You are a dynamic and indigenous son of the soil. It is just to be clear, not that we are against you. I want to clarify your identification. I hope you don\u2019t mind,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Akpata admitted his mistake in equating the entire Benin to the palace. \u201cI am a true son of the Benin Kingdom, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Akpata further stated that he was at the palace to seek blessings as the Labour Party began its September 21 governorship election campaign. \u201cI am here to report to Your Majesty that the Labour Party in Edo State is strong and vibrant. We will go around the 18 local governments and 192 wards to pass our message to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oba Ewaure II clarified that Barrister
