Last year, the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III stripped Ayiri Emami, a billionaire business man, of his title as the Ologbotsere (Prime Minister) of Warri Kingdom.
This was due to Ayiri’s opposition to the emergence of Ogiame Atuwatse III, as new Olu of Warri – insisting that he was not qualified to ascend the throne of his fathers due to his maternal heritage.
During an interview with the Sun newspaper, Ayiri was asked to give an update on his relationship with the Olu of Warri.
He said:
“It is not specifically a cold war; my belief is that the ability to take a certain decision makes you a man when you are at the helms of affairs. A leader that cannot take a decision whether right or wrong is not a leader, so I took a decision as it was written and if he chose to do the other way, it is like Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ, but I shouldn’t be hurt; nobody should bring that problem to me.”
Speaking further, he maintained that the decision he took was based on the law as it is written. He revealed that they are looking for a way to go to a round table and settle what has happened so they don’t destroy the house because they are one people.
