Prof. Oyovbaire, reportedly urged the Okere-Urhobo Monarch to: “Temper Justice with Mercy on issues relating to his hardworking son (Hon. Opuoru) and put aside any conflict that would have existed between them for the sake of God, then forge ahead as members of one united family”.
The Orosuen of Okere - Urhobo Kingdom, Emmanuel Okumagba, was quoted to have said that Prof Oyovbaire, shouldn't have spent his time coming to Warri, rather he should have sent an emissary, since the matter was deemed to be an In-house affair.
