Chairman of Benin Forum, the umbrella body of all Binis in the country and Diaspora, Chief David Edebiri, the Esogban of Benin Kingdom in Edo State, says unknown to many, witches run government and once they make decision, it is binding all over without the people knowing how.
The Bini chief, who recalled that witches were very vicious before now in the kingdom, said a traditional parliamentary action was endorsed by “our great, great grandfathers” to put together a group, which he (Edebiri) is presently the leader, to tame their excesses.
Speaking on being a departmental head of witches, the chief cleared the air that he was not a witch but rendering service to humanity.
“You should know that the head of the Federal Ministry of Health is not necessarily a doctor. I do not need to be a member, if I was a member, I will not be able to do what I am doing now. Secondly, their grade is too junior, if I were to be a member I cannot be in their grade. This thing has grade,” he stated.
Chief David Edebiri further disclosed that witches do not succeed where the name of Jesus Christ is being mentioned, adding that these people (witches) are either church singers or one thing in the church.
“But I can tell that so many of them have been converted to Christianity after passing through this place. The elders, who made this possible were very wise people, otherwise, what we should have been seeing today is burning and killing people, who are witches and that would have brought the society to another catastrophe,” he revealed.
