Monarch appeals to critics to join him in building his Kingdom
By Emma Arubi
WARRI- The Warri monarch, His Majesty Ogiame Ikenwoli has appealed to his critics to join him in building his kingdom instead of merely criticizing him from the cozy recesses of their bedrooms.
He also appealed to his subjects to embrace the change which he represent and charge them to shun divisive tendencies, saying that the task ahead is enormous and daunting.
The Olu of Warri made these appeals at Ode-Itsekiri, the ancestral home of the people during his 2nd coronation anniversary saying that the installation of deserving sons and daughters after due recommendation by the concerned families especially that of the Ologbotsere, Iyatsere and Uwangue respectively is aimed at re-energizing the Warri Council of Chiefs to bring in people with ‘greater commitment, greater zeal, ideas and people with the spirit of doing it”.
The royal father stated that he is committed to taking the Itsekiri nation to greater heights and appealed for their support even as he tasked the Delta state Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to hasten the completion of the Trans-Warri-Ode-Itsekiri-Road Project that is near abandonment for now, noting that if completed it will link the various neighbouring communities of Orugbo, Usele, Inorin and Ajigba even as it would promote trade and commerce and enhance social political interactions.

Ogiame Ikenwoli also stated that the erosion control and shoreline protection at Ugborodo and Ogheye axis including the Omadino-Escravos Highway project of the NDDCare being looked into.
While commending Itsekiris for building magnificent mansion at Ode-Itsekiri, he reveal that he would soon roll out a Master Plan for the ancient town and charge Itsekiri to demand for accountability on the usage of Itsekiri funds from their leaders, saying that mega projects which would create jobs and encourage people to work and live in their communities are what is expected of those in charge of funds provided by oil major, Chevron Nigeria Limited.
