PICTORIAL: Olu Of Warri Confers ‘Utukpa-Oritse’ Title On First Lady Remi Tinubu

The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Remi Tinubu, has been conferred with the traditional title of Utukpa-Oritse of Warri Kingdom, alias Ugbone, meaning the ‘Light of God’

This is as she has called for greater unity among citizens nationwide.

She spoke during her homecoming to Warri Kingdom in Delta State, where she was received by the paramount ruler of the Kingdom, Olu of Warri Ogiame Atunwatse III.

In a statement by her media aide, Busola Kokoyi, the First Lady, whose mother hails from Warri in Delta State, appealed to the people of the kingdom to come together, irrespective of their differences.

“The Bible tells us in Psalm 133, verses 1 to 3, that it is pleasant to dwell together in unity, for that is where God commanded blessings”.

She assured the people who turned out in their numbers of continued support and commitment to the government, noting that the state governor had been doing a good job so far.

Senator Tinubu, once again, on behalf of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) donated a sum of N50m to 1000 women petty traders.

Earlier, the State governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, explained that the First Lady, who had visited the state three times, twice when he was still in another political party and now when he had crossed over to APC, had shown tremendous love and sincerity in the care of Nigerians.

“She has a large heart, and those visits where she flagged off the women petty traders empowerment and the launch of the free to shine campaign encouraged me to make up my mind. May God continue to empower you to continue to put smiles on the faces of more Nigerians,” she stated.

The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atunwatse III, in his remarks, urged everyone that by doing away with past hurts and grievances, there would be peace, progress and prosperity.

The monarch stated that the entire kingdom was proud of the First Lady of Nigeria.

“We are proud of who you are, who you have become.

“Our women know how to take very good care of their husbands. Thank you for being a perfect example of excellence,” the Warri monarch stated.
