The former Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Clem Agba, has distanced himself from articles purportedly written by some individuals in response to the Oba of Benin’s inquiries about Agba’s stewardship as a minister.
Oba Ewuare II had, during Agba’s visit to the Benin throne on June 15, questioned the former minister about his stewardship in the state.
Agba, in a statement signed and made available to newsmen on Friday, said he had no disagreement with the Oba and distanced himself from articles on his behalf in response to the monarch.
He said those writing such articles that were trending online were not known to him nor did he sponsor any article or commission anyone to reply to the Oba, whom he described as his father.
