The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, has admonished the reconstituted Warri Council of Chiefs to endeavour to present Warri Kingdom in good light at all times.
He urged the chiefs to promote values of integrity in order to showcase Warri kingdom in glowing light and vowed not to compromise on matters of the common good of Itsekiri nation.
The traditional ruler of Iwereland said this during the inauguration of the reconstituted Warri Council of Chiefs in his palace in Warri, Delta State.
He appealed to the revalidated chiefs to eschew misrepresenting Iwereland and his person on any issue, promising to speak and stand by the truth at all times.
“Do not misrepresent this kingdom. Do not say things in the name of the Olu what he has not said. We are going to be a kingdom of laws,” he said.
“My hands, as the Olu, will never be tied. I will tell you the truth at all times,” he added.
The new Warri Council of Chiefs has the Iyatsere of Warri Kingdom, Chief Johnson Amatserunleghe, as the chairman and Chief Eugene Ikomi, as the secretary.
“You will recall that the Council of Chiefs was dissolved few weeks ago and the revalidation of titles commenced after the dissolution.
“Having gone this far, it is proper to formally reconstitute the new Council of Chiefs,” he said.
“As we have said in our speech on the coronation day, we really want to work with everybody.
“When people come here, they will see dignity in the way you carry yourselves as chiefs.
“As chiefs, you are an extension of the Olu. You cannot be seen to be portraying the throne in a negative light.”
Meanwhile, chairman of the newly-reconstituted Warri Council of Chiefs, Chief Amatserunleghe, while responding on behalf of the council, commended the traditional ruler for the revalidation exercise.
The Olu of Warri, who also received homage from several Itsekiri communities at his palace, averred that the chiefs would work with his vision to engender a greater Itsekiri nation.
