The Iyatsere of Warri, Chief Johnson Atseruleghe, the Uwangue of Warri, Chief Gabriel Awala, other prominent Chiefs of Warri Kingdom as well as the immediate past Governor of Delta state, Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan, former President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN/ Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Papa Ayodele Joseph Oritsejafor and ex – member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Daniel Reyenieju, were among prominent Itsekiri indigenes present when Chief Ayirimi Emami, honoured the invite of the Olu of Warri Kingdom, Ogiame Atuwatse III this evening, Friday April 14.
Fresh Angle International, understands that the closed door peace – building meeting which was at the behest of the revered First Class Monarch, held at the world – class Olu Palace, Warri, between 4pm and 8:20pm, with crowds waiting for the possible positive outcome.
The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III had invited Chief Emami to a meeting about two weeks ago after performing a traditional rite at Ogbowuru hall in Ode – Itsekiri, the ancestral home of Itsekiri people, but Chief Emami, who was outside Warri Kingdom in preparation for a foreign trip, could not immediately honour the respected King’s invite.
This Newspaper, gathered that Chief Emami, on arrival in Warri today, Friday April 14, dashed to palace of the Olu of Warri in company of the Akulagba of Warri Kingdom, Chief Omamuli for the over four hours meeting, which seemingly concretized the peace building processes between the Warri Monarch and Chief Ayirimi Emami, the Ologbotsere of Warri Kingdom.
Chief Emami, who thanked the large gathering of his supporters waiting for him at the palace gate at the end of the meeting, disclosed that The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, has invited members of the respected Ologbotsere family to a meeting at the Olu Palace this Sunday, April 16 for the necessary traditional jaw – jaw.
It is expected that the process of consolidating the unity of Itsekiri Nation which came to the fore today, in the aftermath of the succession crisis, would lead to an end in the court cases that followed.
