August 20, (THEWILL) – The coronation ceremony of the 21st Olu of Warri Kingdom, Omoba Emiko Tsola, will be held on Saturday, 21st August 2021, at the Ode-Itsekiri Island in Delta State.
This was announced in a statement after the Olu-designate, Prince Tsola successfully completed his Idaniken Rite of Seclusion.
However, ahead of the coronation, Warri Kingdom is agog.
Natives and visitors alike have described the intensive preparations in the city, all the way from the Warri Mainland right to the coronation site at Ode-Itsekiri Island, as impressive.
THEWILL reports the exciting conversations regarding the attractive renovations, heavily-branded streets, exquisitely decorated edifices and the fully-booked hotels that are packed with guests from near and far.
Locals and noblemen alike recognize the epoch-making nature of the coronation and its statutory role towards generating harmony and unity both within Warri Kingdom and its immediate environs
According to the Prime Regent of Warri Kingdom, Prince Emmanuel Okotiebo, the coronation of Tsola will bring good fortune to the people of Itsekiri and Delta State in general.
“From that August 21, it is going to be a new beginning in Delta State and Itsekiri land; more progress and love will follow,” Okotiebo said.
The indigenes of Itsekiri recalled that in 1480 when the Kingdom was founded, Warri had a diverse lineage of royals.
Hence, they strongly believe that Prince Emiko’s reign heralds a new dawn.
The schedule for the Royal Coronation Ceremony has been published following an announcement by the Warri Council of Kingmakers.
Meanwhile, the Central Planning Committee are working tirelessly to accommodate the high-calibre of guests set to grace the event.
Speaking on behalf of the Council of Chiefs, Dr. Eugene Ikomi, Secretary of the Warri Council of Chiefs, said, “A visit to the coronation site shows clearly that we are on course. The amphitheatre is almost complete and the city itself is agog with activities. Certainly, 21st of August, 2021 is sacrosanct.”
