The oracle told the family that Oyowoli will die within a short time if they him

The crisis rocking the Warri kingdom over who will be the next Olu of Warri has continued as some members of the Itsekiri nation led by billionaire businessman, Ayiri Emami, are opposed to the crowning of Prince Tsola Emiko as the 21st Olu of Warri.

Following the death of the Ogiame Ikenwoli in December 2020, the council of chiefs on April 5 picked Prince Tsola, son of Ogiame Atuwatse the Second, the 19th Olu of Warri, as the next Olu-designate.

Tsola's nomination has however been greeted by stiff opposition from Ayiri and some others who argue that according to the constitution of the Itsekiri nation, which is popularly referred to as ''The Edict'', Prince Tsola cannot be crowned King since his mum is from Yoruba land.

Ayiri and others argue that according to the Edict, an Olu of Warri must have a mother who is either from Itsekiri or Edo state. Tsola's mother is from Ogun state. Ayiri and others argue that because of this reason, Tsola cannot be enthroned as the next Olu of Warri. They argue that Oyowoli, the first son of the late Ogiame Ikenwoli should be the one to ascend the throne.

However, his insistence on the Edict has been widely opposed by a majority of the Itsekiris who argue that the oracles have accepted Tsola and that he must be crowned king.
