Warri monarch to confer chieftaincy title on Emami, Ofoni, others  *As former UPU President ,Okumagba dies


The suzerain of Iwere nation, His Majesty , Ogiame Atuwatse II(CON) the Olu of Warri is set to confer chieftaincy title on some distinguished Itsekiris as part of activities to mark his 25years on the exalted throne, Fresh Angle reliably gathered.

Chairman of Itsekiri Oil and Gas Producing/Impacted Communities Development Committee, Mr. Ayirimi Emami,Chairman of Itsekiri National Heritage ,Willy Edema Ofoni, Special Project Director of Trans Warri Ode-Itsekiri bridges and access roads, Hon.Otimeyin Adams and factional Chairman of Ugborodo Community Trust, Mr.Thomas Ereyitomi are among those being speculated to be conferred with chieftaincy titles.

Fresh Angle gathered that, Mr.Willy Edema Ofoni recent relinquishing of a traditional title conferred on him by a kingdom in the South-West is not unconnected with the renowned businessman’s acceptance of the Olu of Warri decision to honour him with a traditional title.

Informed sources say Mr.Ayirimi Emami who was initially hesitant about the proposed chieftaincy conferment ,decided to accept the Olu’s honour after wide consultations with  prominent and learned Itsekiris.

As at the time of filing this report, no date has been fixed for the conferment , but the ceremony is expected to be grandeur as always.

Prominent Shell contractor of several decades, Chief .E.A. Temile, Chief Emmanuel Jones, renowned Itsekiri activist, Chief Francis Omatseye and Chief Oluyemi Oritsejafor, sibling to CAN National President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor are among distinguished Itsekiris that the present Olu of Warri has conferred with chieftaincy titles since his reign.

In another development, maverick Urhobo activist and former UPU President, Chief Benjamin Okumagba has been reported dead.

Unconfirmed report says close family members are yet to make the alleged death public. Unlike former speculations of Chief Benjamin Okumagba’s death  , an impeccable source in  Okere-Urhobo hinted Fresh Angle that the corpse of the former Otota has been deposited in a morgue.
