“We pledge our loyalty to your majesty and promise to uphold the traditions and values of our great Benin kingdom.

We humbly request that Your Royal Majesty consider the complexities of Ologbo Dukedom and We pledge our unwavering loyalty to Your Royal Majesty and pray that you continue to reign with wisdom and justice, upholding the principles of fairness and integrity that have guided your rule.
