Olu Of Warri Disowns Clark Stakeholders’ Meeting by LocalChamp: 1:51am On Sep 02, 2016
By Ovie Okpare, Warri
The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli, on Thursday distanced the Itsekiri nation from the Chief Edwin Clark-led pan Niger Delta coastal states stakeholders’ meeting which is to negotiate with the Federal Government on behalf of militants in the region.

The Itsekiri monarch, in a statement issued by the Palace Administrator, Dr. Emmanuel Tetsola, also claimed not to be part of the meeting of the Niger Delta monarchs with the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Ikachikwu.

While disowning those claiming to have represented Itsekiri nation at the two meetings, the statement stressed that the monarch had not authorised anybody to represent him.

It stated, “It has come to the knowledge of the Palace of the Olu of Warri that some Itsekiri sons and daughters who are attending the above mentioned meetings are claiming to be representing either the Olu of Warri or the Itsekiri people of Delta State.

“The Palace wishes to state categorically that while individuals are entitled to freedom of speech and association, as guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution, it has not authorised or mandated any person to represent either the Olu of Warri or the Itsekiri people at these meetings.”


The statement particularly frowned on a report in one of the national dailies which claimed that Prof. Lucky Akaruese represented the Itsekiri ethnic nationality at both meetings.

“Consequently, those persons who attended these meetings cannot arrogate to themselves the authority to speak or represent either the Olu of Warri or the Itsekiri people,” the Olu of Warri added.

The statement urged the general public to disregard such insinuation.


The Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, had two weeks ago convened a stakeholders’ meeting of six coastal states of the Niger Delta at Effurun in Delta State towards proferring solution to the renewed militancy in the region.

The meeting was attended by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa while his counterpart in Bayelsa State was represented on the occasion.

The meeting resolved to set up a dialogue team which would discuss with the Federal Government on behalf of militant groups in the region.

The Niger Delta Avengers have also given the Clark-led dialogue team the go-ahead to discuss on its behalf whenever the federal government was ready.

with all due respect i think all these so called Itsekiri trying to gain lost supremacy over other tribes in warri can not stand in this 21st century.

only u people Itsekiri claimed to b the original owners of warri; where as history said otherwise.

i always ask myself a question how come in a case of 3 different people; only person is right while the other 2 are wrong. from the different independent histories of both Ijaw & Urhobos; the Itsekiris are the late arrivals into warri areas; yet they always claimed that the owned the whole warri.

Please Olu of itsekiri; we dont want another tribal wars in warri; we dont want to see another Ijaw & Urhobos vs Itsekiris again.

please jst let the current status quo to remain we beg u well well ooo...

Nobody should be allowed to hijack the nigerdelta as his fathers backyard,the days of financial gains from criminality and militancy are over.
Come rain come shine,the itsekiris will always oppose silly practices of appeasing criminals under the guise of "nigerdelta negotiations".
INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE IS BETTER THAN THE BARREL OF THE GUN.

Kudos to his MAJESTY.....
Long live the D KING and all men of goodwill.

OGIAME SUOOOOOOOO!!

Not really, its just dat we know their evil plans in dis so called nigerdelta struggle, most of these unscrupulous individuals parading themselves as elders are nothing but shameless crumb seekers. Their antecedence are obvious to all. They did same in 2009 during yaradua/gej regime,where they usurped and arogated phantom powers to themselves as "NIGERDELTA LEADERS",just because we allowed peace to reign then.
Gone are those days when they think they can bully everyone around.
For a lasting peace to reign,all ethnic nationalties in the region must give concernt and participate in these negotiations with the govt.
Better still d ijaws can dialogue with fg on their own if they so please and if that b d case they should term it 'ijaw struggle' not nigerdelta...


Our stand is our stand, God bless us all.

i am not here for argument; but my simple question still remains.

which other histories apart from the ones from either Itsekiris; urhobos or ijaws do one need again?

u see i as a neutral tribe or person will prefer to stick with the history of 2 different tribes that concurred/ or sounds alike than to stick to just one history from one tribe that sound different from that of the 2 independent tribes.

Did you say taking a stand?

Don't tell me you don't know all this is about money and settlement? Itsekiri get militants?

Let's just let this issue be resolved however possible without adding ethnic sentiments to it.

The blood shed over warri is enough.Everybody should maintain their territory though I am aligned with the Ijaw/Urhobo side of history. It makes more sense and sound more logical.
