The Regent of Warri Kingdom was Prince Emma Okotie-Eboh, a scion of Chief Festus Okotie Eboh, Nigeria’s first Republic Finance Minister. Additionally, he presided over the Great Ogboru Campaign Council during the 2023 Delta State gubernatorial contest. He discusses current national issues in this interview, including the main worries in the Niger Delta region.
It has been two years since Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, was born.
In addition to having a great influence on many people, he has won multiple honors in Nigeria and throughout the diaspora.
He has brought about amazing initiatives and reforms throughout the kingdom. In addition, he has set out on journeys that none of his throne predecessors have ever taken.
The words you hear on the roadways, unpleasant and dissonant, are just sounds and fury that have no meaning from the saboteurs. God has decreed that his majesty will lead the Itsekiri nation out of the woods.
In particular, we now have a well-known and active Itsekiri FM radio station. Along the long Koko Road, he performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the first-ever Warri University at Obitugbo, among many other historic events. The monarch is fostering amicable ties throughout Delta State and Nigeria at large. He has also drawn foreign investors to Itsekiri land in order to enhance Iwereland’s economic development.
He oversees an open, inclusive administration that includes every Itsekiri community.
These people were envious of the economic growth that was observed in the ports of Warri, Sapele, Koko, and Burutu. Nowadays, Apapa, Lagos handles all shipments, and as a result, enormous profits are generated from them. All the ports in the Niger Delta will suffer economically as a result. Take a look at the suffering and traffic jams it has caused innocent people over the years. Our nation’s extensive road network and railway infrastructure would be in excellent shape if these idle ports were operational.
In addition to other multiplier impacts on the economy, jobs will be created in the Niger Delta region to address young restlessness. Lagos is now experiencing extremely unhealthy traffic. The ports of Sapele, Warri, and Koko flourished in the 1960s.
