Immediate past Deputy President of the Senate and the Obarisi of Urhoboland, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, has urged the newly coronated Ovie of Agbarha Kingdom in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, His Royal Majesty, Kingsley Emakpo Orereh, Igbi II, to put the interest of his people over and above every other consideration as he ascends the royal throne of his ancestors.
In a message to congratulate the Monarch on the presentation of staff of office to him by the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Senator Omo-Agege urged the Royal Father to work for the peace, progress and development of his people.
“I humbly urge you to build on the enviable legacies of your forefathers, including upholding the cultural heritage and traditions of Agbarha Kingdom in Warri South Local Government Area. There is nothing as heartwarming as to have a worthy and experienced person as you to be crowned as Ovie of Agbarha Kingdom. Your subjects are blessed”, he said.
“On your shoulders lie the onerous obligation of protecting the cultural heritage of our people and promoting their wellbeing. I am convinced that you will discharge your responsibilities with great wisdom and integrity as did your ancestors”, Omo-Agege said.
Senator Omo-Agege encouraged the monarch to use his revered office to improve the lots of his kingdom by working productively with the people and governments at all levels.
He also encouraged the people of Agbarha Kingdom to support His Royal Majesty in the onerous task ahead of him.
Against the backdrop of pervasive unemployment, especially among the youth, the former Deputy President of the Senate urged His Royal Majesty to always prioritise efforts that will enable the youth engage in productive ventures.
Omo-Agege prayed for good health, wisdom and long life for the monarch and for peace in his kingdom.
