Chief Godday Oritsewino Erewa, PhD has strongly and unequivocally rejected the baseless and malicious allegations against His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse 111, the Olu of Warri. These allegations are not only unfounded but driven by misinformation and myopic motives.
Speaking from his Office in Abuja, Chief Erewa who is the Oritsuwa of Warri Kingdom and a respected Prince of Etikan Kingdom in Ondo State refuted claims that a company Chaired by the Olu of Warri is involved in pipeline vandalism and illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta region, an allegation capable of causing serious reputational damage and spiraling into ethnic tensions.
Contrary to the false allegations peddled by fifth columnists, the Olu had embarked on several projects and programmes aimed at promoting socioeconomic development, peace and societal wellbeing.
According to him, the Olu as a people centric leader has demonstrated an uncommon knack for ensuring that public assets are safe and secure.
However, it is confounding that these accusations have surfaced at this particular moment, signaling a conscious attempt to mislead the public and mar the reputation of the Olu for selfish reasons.
The longstanding commitment of the Olu to ethical conduct, peace, transparency and environmental safeguards in the region is unparalleled.
Speaking further, Erewa urged the public not to be swayed or misled by these false narratives.
