The Sole Representative to the Olu of Warri on the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Security expert and philanthropist, Dr. Shola Mese, has extended warm felicitations to the distinguished sons of Kingdom who were, on Saturday 20th December, conferred with chieftaincy titles by His Majesty, Ogiame Atúwatse III, CFR, the Olu of Warri.
They were honoured with the traditional titles at the 16th edition of the Ghighò Aghòfen, the revered ceremonial change of palace watch, held at the Palace of the Olu of Warri. The occasion reaffirmed the enduring traditions of the Itsekiri people and the solemn continuity of royal service.
Dr. Shola Mese noted that chieftaincy conferment is both an honour and a sacred trust, bestowed on men of proven character, commitment, and service to the Kingdom. He commended the Warri monarch's wisdom in selecting individuals whose antecedents reflect dedication to community development, culture, and the progress of Warri Kingdom. “These honours,” he said, “are earned through service and sustained loyalty to the crown and people.”
Among those elevated are Ojoye Okpeyor John Daje, Ogidinagba ti Warri; Ojoye Yomere Sony, Akpasire ti Warri; Ojoye Reyeneju Daniel, Ojogun ti Warri; Ojoye Mone Mayomi, Ugboleghe ti Warri. Their conferment was a reflection of the Palace’s recognition of steadfast service across diverse spheres of influence within and beyond the Kingdom.
In the Ambassage category, the following eminent individuals were also honoured: Ojoye Anthony Akoji, Arun Igala ti Warri; Ojoye Oluwasoji Akinwale, Arun Oroke ti Warri; Ojoye Clauduis Ugbo, Udo-mereyon ti Warri; Ojoye Ezekiel Oyetakin, Arun Ilaje ti Warri; Ojoye Steven Amalili, Arun Otsowo ti Warri; and Ojoye Okwudili Ugochukwu, Arun Igbo ti Warri. Their elevation reflects the Kingdom’s inclusive spirit and its bridges of goodwill with neighbouring peoples.
Dr. Shola enjoined the newly installed Chiefs to wear their titles with humility and purpose, mindful that chieftaincy is service before status. He charged them to be ambassadors of peace, unity, and development, working in concert with the Palace and traditional institutions to advance the welfare of Warri Kingdom and uphold the dignity of the Itsekiri heritage.
The Olu's Aide expressed gratitude to the Warri king "for his visionary and qualitative leadership to tradition and progress." The Security expert wished the newly conferred Chiefs wisdom, strength, and grace as they begin the new chapter of service to the throne and to the people.
