Embattled Ologbotsere of Warri kingdom, Chief Ayiri Emami is set to become the king of Ugborodo Itsekiri kingdom.

Sources told us that a significant majority, 2/3rd, of the Delta State House of Assembly is poised to recognize Ugborodo as a kingdom within the Itsekiri ethnic group in Warri North LGA.

We gathered that the Ugborodo Alaraja and Ologbosere families will put forward Ayiri Emami as the Olu designate, who will ultimately be granted the Staff of Office by the Delta State Government.

The source added that the Ugborodo Kingdom welcomes all Itsekiri communities to align under its traditional institution, fostering developmental growth under the leadership of Emami Ayiri, the Olu of Ugborodo Kingdom.( Itsekiri)

Insiders said Ugborodo deserve to have control of their own resources on the community level. This is an oil rich community with nothing to show for the trillions of naira given to them by chevron.
