This clarification is necessary to provide accurate information about Apata’s lineage and address any speculation from the public.

The OBA’s announcement highlights the difference between being a direct descendant of the palace and being an indigene of Benin City, shedding light on Apata’s connection to the community and his role within it.

This clarification is particularly important given the discussions surrounding Apata’s heritage and his involvement in local affairs and the Labour Party.

By publicly addressing Apata’s background, the OBA emphasizes the significance of factual accuracy in discussions about community members.

It also underscores the importance of respecting cultural nuances and historical context when considering individuals’ affiliations. Ultimately, the OBA’s clarification serves as a reminder of the need for accurate representation and understanding within the community.
