Olu of Warri: Suspended Ologbotsere may accept Prince Tsola’s candidature – Spokesperson

SUSPENDED Ologbotsere (Prime Minister) of Warri Kingdom Ayirimi Emami may accept the nomination of Olu of Warri designate Prince Utieyinoritsola (Tsola) Emiko before his coronation scheduled for August 21.
A spokesperson for Ologbotsere’s Descendants, Alex Eyengho, stated this on Thursday while featuring on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show.’

He said Ologbotsere went to court to ensure the emergence and coronation of the new Ogiame (king) follow the edict.

The “Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Edict 1979” was signed by the military government of the defund Bendel State.

The genesis of kingship tussle

Trouble started in the oil-rich community when Tsola’s father, Godwin Toritseju Emiko, Ogiame Atuwatse II, passed away in 2015.

Some influential people in the town thwarted Tsola’s effort to succeed his father as the new Olu in 2015. They claimed his mother was Yoruba and that the Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Edict provides that the mother of a successor to the Olu throne must hail from either Edo or Delta states. The kingmakers consequently disqualified him.

The kingmakers then picked his uncle Ogiame Ikenwoli as the 20th Olu of Warri. The monarch spent five years and eight days on the throne when he joined his ancestors on December 21, 2015.

Following the Olu’s passage, the Olori-Ebi (administrative head) of Ginuwa I Ruling House, the only ruling house in the town, Prince Emmanuel Okotie-Eboh, took over the throne as a regent.

Another opportunity then came for Tsola to contest for the Oluship. Luckily, the Ginuwa 1 ruling house presented his name to Ologbotsere for approval and pre-coronation activities. Ologbotsere allegedly tore the letter containing the ruling house decision in public and returned the shreds to the palace.

The action culminated in his suspension, and the palace appointed the Iyatsere of Warri Johnson Amatserunleghe as the new Ologbotsere.

The new Ologbotsere has since been leading the processes for Tsola’s coronation.

The Olu-designate enjoys growing popularity and massive youth support in the Warri Kingdom.

Tsola’s high exposure, education and youthfulness are his pluses, which draw more Itsekiris to him.

Tsola’s biography

Born on April 2, 1984. Tsola attended Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Primary School between 1995 and 2001.

He had his secondary education at Adesoye College in Offa, Kwara State between 2002 and 2006, before proceeding to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Political Science; with minors in History and Economics.

Thats not news to Nigerians.

defending Buhari is full time job.

When a leader fails, he needs tangles of lies to defend him.
