Speaking on the origin, founding fathers of the four quarters of Evwreni clan and the existence of the traditional institutions of the Ovie of Evwreni and the Otota of Evwreni amongst others, Chief Felix Ayowe faulted two opinions on the origin of Evwreni people expressed by S. E. Johnson and J. W. Hubbard in his book ‘Sobo of Niger Delta’ as well as the history recorded by P. W. Woodhouse in 1931.

Chief Ayowe traced the origin of Evwreni people to when they migrated from Bini Kingdom many centuries ago as a result of the crises which broke out in the kingdom at that time.

“The founders of Evwreni that migrated from Benin were many and they found their various sections of the present Evwreni Town, the administrative headquarters of Evwreni Kingdom in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State,” said Chief Ayowe.
