Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II in his palace on Friday asked Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi if he would remain clean if elected the president of Nigeria in 2023.
The royal father, who told Obi that his reputation preceded him, said there were temptations in the presidency.
Oba Ewuare spoke when he received Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, in his palace, NAN reports.
