Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III has eventually revealed why he sacked Ayiri Emami as the Ologbotsere of Warri Kingodm.
He said; “We have taken time to ponder and have arrived at our final decision.”
Stating the Olu’s position, Chief Brown Mene said: “It is the respect the monarch has for the Ologbotsere descendants that is why he called you. It is the king that gives chieftaincy titles. It is also the king that withdraws titles. This has been the tradition.”
“There are several Ologbotsere’s children that are chiefs. The Ologbotsere family is very dear to the monarch.”
“There is no Ologbotsere title again. The head of the Ologbotsere title can answer the nickname. It is the pronouncement of the king and Itsekiri nation. There will be peace, blessings in the land.”
“There is no Ologbotsere, again nobody should parade in that title. You remember the king dissolved the Council of Chiefs and has been re admitting revalidating titles and has also reconstituted the council of Chiefs. Nobody should relate with anyone in the title as Ologbotsere.”
