The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse, has predicted that Ogun State will soon join oil producing states, as oil and other petrol-carbon products will be discovered in the state.

The monarch made the prediction when he visited Governor Dapo Abiodun at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta.

He said Ogun has all it takes to be an oil-producing state just like the states in the Niger Delta.

The traditional ruler said: “When our forefathers left the waterside to where we are now, they scooped the water and when they got to Warri, they dropped the water there. When they came back to the waterside, they also scooped water from Warri and dropped it at the waterside. Since we have oil in Warri, I am sure oil is also here. I want to predict that very soon, oil will be discovered in this state and you will also join us in that club. When this happens, I will be here to celebrate with you.”

He said his visit was to identify with the people of Yorubaland, as Warri people regarded themselves as part of the Yoruba stock

The Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, who accompanied the Olu of Warri on the visit, said Nigerians were one and same people, no matter where they came from.

He stressed the need for Nigerians to promote their culture and work towards a united country.

Governor Abiodun urged Nigerians to see themselves as people with common ancestry and history.

He advised them to work towards a peaceful and united country.

Abiodun described the Olu of Warri as a well-brought up person with adequate education to carry out his role as a prominent monarch, hoping that ancient city of Warri and its environs would experience development during his reign.
