The Oba of Benin, Omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa, on Friday in Abuja enjoined President Goodluck Jonathan to contest for the 2015 Presidential Election to enable him continue his good work for the country.

Erediauwa, who made the call when he addressed State House correspondents in Abuja, after a closed-door meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, said his kingdom had since embarked on special prayers for the success of the president in next year's general elections.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the Oba was represented by his Son, Prince Eheneden Erediauwa and said the kingdom had also embarked on special prayers for the continued survival of Nigeria as a geo-political entity.

He said the kingdom would continue to pray for the president to enable his administration overcome all security challenges facing the country.

The monarch also said that he would continue offer ‘fatherly advice’ to the President to guide him in facing future challenges.
