The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, has reaffirmed the strong ancestral bond between the Itsekiri and Igala peoples, describing it as a relationship that will continue to flourish through generations.

He made the remark on Tuesday while receiving the Onu Igala of Delta State, Oga-Ata Onu Igala, and his entourage at his residence in the Government Reserved Area (GRA) of Warri, Delta State.

Ogiame Atuwatse III, who in 2022 visited the ancestral home of the Igalas in Idah, Kogi State, and also hosted the Ata Igala, Akpa II, President of the Kogi State Council of Traditional Rulers, emphasised the importance of preserving and strengthening such historical connections.

He commended them for not losing sight of their shared ancestry with the Itsekiris.

“I am grateful that you remember and honour the deep-rooted ties between our peoples,” the Olu stated, offering prayers and royal blessings for the continued safety, unity, and prosperity of the Igala people residing in Delta State.
