Governor Okpebholo said: "I congratulate you for coming to see me. It is the right step in the right direction because royal fathers are strong instruments for internal security.
“History has shown that they were the first security officers of every community. This is how it ought to be because they know visitors and indigenes of their communities. My agenda is to work closely with you.
“We have started righting the wrongs of the immediate-past administration and if you listen to the news recently, we have restored the statutory rights of the Oba of Benin Kingdom.
“Yesterday, we held a meeting with the 18 local government chairmen and asked for their records. We will look into the records when they come in.
“You just mentioned something which we have noted down. We will look into it and any person who takes anything belonging to you, such a person would be made to return it.
“I will work closely with the traditional rulers to bring peace to Edo State and I will seek your advice when necessary.”
