Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, has described the passing away of the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse II, as a great loss to the nation.
A statement issued by his media office in Abuja Tuesday described the late foremost traditional ruler of the Itshekiri nation as, “a peace-maker and nation builder who went to great lengths to ensure peace and harmony reigned in his domain, and among Nigerians.”
According to Atiku, the harmony that characterises the daily lives and activities of Nigerians who live and work in Warri, to a large extent, depended on the love, tolerance and patriotism that were part of the life of the late Olu.
The Turaki Adamawa recalled that during the 28 eventful years he reigned as Olu, “Warri grew beyond its known limits and became a magnet of sorts for Nigerians and foreigners alike plying their different trades.”
He noted that “The result was that the social and economic circumstances of the people improved raising Warri to a major economic hub in the country.”
The former Vice President said Nigeria has lost a wise and thoughtful counsellor in the late Olu, adding “In this era of change, the counsel of the late Ogiame Atuwatse would have been invaluable.”
Happy Mourning

DeleteRIP olu of warri
ReplyDeleteMourn am well oh.
ReplyDeleteAtiku de politician. Leave us to assess and mourn our Olu privately for now Are you the palace mouth piece? A tree might have fallen but has not been officially announced by the custodians of the tradition and custom so pls wait for official anoncement. Social media no get chill and respect for our tradition again, before the advent of this media you can sit on things like this for as long as tradition permits before it is announced but Amebo like stella will announce it ahead of traditional council making herself palace spokeswoman. Na wah.
ReplyDeleteItsekiri's are passionate about their custom, tradition, privacy and unity and so wouldn't want this issue over flogged on social media until it is officially anonced by palace mouth piece and council of elders if actually it is true. We don't want this issue over flogged on social media like the recent one in the south west where every detail that ought not to be discussed or made public was all over social media. We must preserve our culture and heritage as handed over to us by our fore fathers. Atiku we appreciate your goodwill but it's not yet Uhuru.
ReplyDeleteREST IN PEACE
