“Ogiame is a father figure to all and has no personal favourite or special interests in any candidate or political party vying for any office in the forthcoming elections one way or another and will therefore not endorse or discredit any candidate to the detriment or advantage of others.

“They cannot be further from the truth. For an unclear motive, the writer contravenes the Palace’s avowed role of non-partisanship.
“Ogiame is a father figure to all who have a genuine interest in advancing the course of development of our nation.
“Ogiame is duty-bound to receive and proffer advice and blessings to all those who seek his audience and counsel.
“Therefore, His Majesty Ogiame Atúwátse IIll – The Olu of Warri is using this medium to make this important clarification for the avoidance of doubt and further requesting that in the future, any queries and clarifications on Palace communications should be directed to the Palace media,” it stated.
