THE Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja 2 has, again, called on Nigerians to cherish and promote their cultural heritage without which the country may never witness faster growth and development.
Ooni made the remark when he paid a historic visit to the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli, at his palace on Monday in Warri, Delta State.
He declared that God had ordained the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli “for all Yoruba race, not only for the Itsekiri people,” averring that “I’m very excited to be with my Itsekiri people, Warri Kingdom.”
The Arole of Oodua described the Olu of Warri as full of divine wisdom, humility, compassion and exudes authority and grandeur of a well-endowed, godly monarch.
In his remarks, the Olu of Warri Kingdom, Ogiame Ikenwoli, stated that the visit of the revered Oodua progenitor would not only usher in more peace but would open doors for the fostering of unity among the various ethnic groups in Delta State and beyond.
