Benin monarch harps on sanctity of tradition as Itsekiri crowns new Olu

Some 24 hours to the coronation of  a new Olu of Warri, Itsekiri Kingdom, the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, has emphasised the need for the Itsekiri kingmakers to adhere, strictly, to the norms, tradition and customs of their kingdom 

The Olu of Warri designate, Omoba Tsola Emiko, will on Saturday be crowned as the Olu of Warri at the ancient Big Warri, traditionally known as Ode Itsekiri.

Oba Ewuare II said that adequate observance of ancient traditions and customs of the land would preserve the cultural heritage of the Itsekiri Kingdom.

The Omo N’Oba spoke late Thursday when the  Uwangue of Warri, Chief Gabriel Awala, led a delegation to his palace in Benin to formally inform him of the coronation of the new Olu, Omoba  Tsola  Emiko scheduled for Saturday, 21st August 2021.

The Benin monarch assured of the Benin palace’s support for the  Olu designate,  insisting that the “cultural and traditional ties between Warri and Benin kingdoms would be strengthened”.

The Benin monarch promised that a high powered delegation would be sent from his palace to the coronation of the new Olu. 

Earlier, Chief Awala who led top Itsekiri chiefs to the Benin palace, informed the Benin monarch through Chief Brown Meme, that they were at his palace to formally inform the Oba of the crowning of a new Olu in Warri kingdom. 

He described the relationship between Warri and Benin as cordial and that the Benin monarch would continue to be a father to all.
