Chief Ayirimi Emami has just been installed as the new Traditional Prime Minister (Ologbotsere) of Warri Kingdom.
The
installation was done today October 20 by the Olu of Warri, Ogiame
Ikenwoli. Also installed were the Iyatsere and Uwangue of Warri Kingdom.
It
would be recalled that the controversy trailing the installation of the
next Traditional Prime Minister (Ologbotsere) of Warri kingdom was laid
to rest as the eleven families making up the
Ologbotsere descendants yesterday, Thursday October
19, re-stated that Chief Ayirimi Emami remains their preferred choice
for the prestigious title of Ologbotsere of Warri Kingdom.
Our Correspondent reports
that at a well-attended meeting by representatives of each of the
kindred family held at the Sapele resident of the Ologbotsere family
head, Pa. Higson Oporokun, it was stated clearly that the selection
process that threw up Chief Ayirmi Emami followed due process as each
family representatives re-echoed their commitment to the choice of Chief
Ayirimi Emami .
It
was reliably gathered that Chief Emami’s name was on Thursday, October
19 re-submitted to His Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli, The Olu of Warri by the
Ologbotsere families led by Pa. Oporokun for confirmation and
conferment of the Ologbotsere title.
FIMTVBLOG can
report that at the meeting, various speakers appealed to the Diare and
Omasan families from the Uwangue Descendant to withdraw their candidate,
Mr. Jolomi Rewane “because their nomination was not only coming too
late, but also grossly negates the spirit and letters of the agreement
reached by the entire family to allow families that has not held the
position since its creation to present candidates for screening”.
Speaking
to newsmen at the end of the enlarged meeting that had the presence of
six (6) Palace Chiefs, Chief Omolubi Newuwumi said the meeting has
re-affirmed their choice of Chief Ayirimi Emami and called on aggrieved
family members and the entire Itsekiri Nation to respect their choice of
candidate.
