Chief Gaius Obaseki CBE was a Nigerian politician who was Vice President of the Action Group in 1951.[1] He was a leader of a group of educated Benin residents and contractors who sought representation and a voice in Benin’s governance.[2] He was conferred with the title Iyase of Benin with the support of educated youths, the taxpayers community and the colonial government who were his previous employers.[3] However, many educated youths who supported his rise in politics became disappointed as a result of the activities of the Reformed Ogboni in Benin which had Obaseki as its master (Oluwo).[4]
Obaseki was a nominated member of the Nigerian Legislative Council and the governor's Executive Council. He served in these capacities while he held the title of Iyase.
