The Delta APC governorship candidate, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege has described the Olu of Warri Kingdom, Ogiame Atuwatse III as an inspiration to many.

Omo-Agege in a statement in Abuja by Mr Ima Niboro, his Director, Communications and Media Strategy Campaign Organisation, lauded the royal father for his role in promoting national unity and enriching the cultural values of Nigeria.

He also lauded the monarch in celebration of his first coronation anniversary as the youngest Olu of Warri Kingdom to lead the itsekiri Ethnic Nation in over 500 years.

Omo-Agege said that as custodians of traditions, values and customs, traditional leaders had everything to galvanize all Nigerians towards peace, stability and progress of the country.

The Delta Central lawmaker, therefore, urged traditional rulers to use their influential status to promote good governance and strengthen the unity of the nation.

He said that the revered monarch had always dignified the cultural values of the Itsekiri people with great passion.
