Omo N’Oba Ewuare II of Benin has reportedly welcomed a newborn son with second wife, Queen Iyayota.
The Oba of Benin welcomed the baby boy, three years after his installation as king in 2016.
The king, who announced this at a press briefing at his palace through the Iyase of Benin on 18 May 2020, stated that both mother and child are alive and doing well.
The Oba also thanked God and the ancestors for the baby.
“By the grace of the Almighty God and the benevolence of our ancestors, the Benin Traditional Council on behalf of His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, Oba of Benin and the Royal Palace of Benin Kingdom, joyfully wish to announce that Her Royal Highness, Queen Iyayota of Benin Kingdom, has been delivered of a bouncing baby boy. The prince and his mother are in excellent health and good spirits,” the traditional ruler says.
“It is our prayers that the prince will grow in good health and that he shall be blessed immeasurably by the Almighty God and, the great royal ancestors with the wisdom, kindness and generosity, knowledge and courage of his illustrious father, His Royal Majesty, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II,” he prays.
