Benin Palace Issues Statement Rejecting ‘Iyeki General’ Title

The Benin Traditional Council, under the authority of Oba Ewuare II, has issued a statement clarifying that the concept of “Iyeki General” or “Iyaloja” is alien to Benin culture and has no traditional foundation. The Palace stressed that market leadership (Iyeki) is a local and spiritual role, not a political one, and condemned the growing politicization of market associations. 


It urged the Edo State Government and market leaders to uphold Benin traditions and avoid actions that could disrupt peace or undermine cultural values.
