The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has called for global peace and an end to the Russia and Ukraine war, amidst deep and growing frustration seven months after the war began.
Oba of Benin, who made the call in his palace when the Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Hidayet Bayraktar, paid him a courtesy visit, commended Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for creating a corridor for humanitarian aid services.

He said he has been praying to God and his ancestors to abate the conflict and ease the pains that ebb and flows like tides against global security.
“We are also aware of the role your president played between Ukraine and the Russian state. You sent much-needed grains to Africa, and we say on behalf of Nigeria people and Africans, thank you,” Oba Ewuare stressed.
Earlier, the Turkish ambassador said he was in Edo State on a fact-finding mission to explore economic opportunities between Turkey and Nigeria.
