The Prime Regent of Warri Kingdom, Prince Emmanuel Okotiebo spoke enthusiastically of the good fortune set to accompany Omoba Emiko’s coronation as the Olu of Warri.
“From that 21st upwards, it is a new beginning in Delta State and Itsekiri Land. More progress and love. The schedule for the Royal Coronation Ceremony has been published following an announcement by the Warri Council of Kingmakers.”
Meanwhile, the central planning committee are working tirelessly to accommodate the high-calibre of guests set to grace the event.”
Speaking on behalf of the Council of Chiefs, Dr Eugene Ikomi, the Secretary of Warri Council of Chiefs, gave an update regarding preparations for the coronation, stating that “A visit to the coronation site shows very clearly that we are on course.
The amphitheater is almost complete and the city itself is agog with activities. Certainly, 21st of August, 2021 is sacrosanct.
“Dating back to 1480, when the Kingdom was founded, Warri has had a diverse lineage of royals. A powerful new generation has now come of age, and Itsekiri indigenes strongly believe that Prince Emiko’s reign heralds a new dawn.
