This singular act of the oba led to the formation of the Benin Tax Payers Association. the association threatened to remove the oba if he fails to reinstate the title of Iyase.
The British resident officer put pressure on the oba to reinstate the Iyase title. the vexatious meaning of the title of Obadeyando which the oba used at replacing the Iyase title made the Benin Tax Payers association to tell the oba to promulgate another title with the name EDODEYANOBA meaning Binis overshadowed the oba if he insists on abolishing the Iyase title.
In this situation of chaos, another group sprang up to support the oba's position. the group was known as EDO YOUNG PEOPLE'S PARTY. they went into intellectual debate with Benin Tax Payers Association for trying to remove the oba.
