The congratulatory message of President Muhammadu to Prince Utieyinoritsetsola Emiko as the Olu of Warri-designate, may have brought a spontaneous political solution needed to calm the brewing tension over his selection process, reports Festus Akanbi
With President Muhammadu Buhariâs endorsement of the selection of the Olu of Warri-designate, on Tuesday, it is obvious that the coast is clear for the new monarch to ascend the throne of his forebears. The calculation is that the President would have consulted with the Delta State Government before extending its congratulatory message to Prince Utieyinoritsetsola Emiko.
Emiko will be the 21st Olu of Warri and will be crowned after a 90-day seclusion during which he will be schooled in the culture and tradition of the Itsekiri people and kingship protocols. The Presidentâs congratulatory message eventually put official seal to the choice of Emiko, who has distinguished himself in the private sector of the Nigerian economy.
