Represented by Chief Stanley Obamwonyi, the Esere of Benin kingdom, who led others palace chiefs, the Royal father stressed that he regretted not seeing the late general and administrator after reading an astonishing coronation message he published in the newspapers in which the late Ogbemudia stunningly stated how he foresaw the reincarnation of Oba Ewuare the Great in him as far back when he (oba Ewuare) was a child.
