Keyamo, who congratulated the monarch on the occasion of his fifth coronation anniversary, said the five-year reign of Ogiame Atuwatse III had been marked by a strong commitment to peace, stability and progress in the Warri Kingdom.
The minister, who was represented at the anniversary celebration by the Executive Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Political Matters, Dr. Maurice Ojoede, particularly praised the Olu’s recent peace initiatives and engagements with neighbouring traditional institutions.
According to Keyamo, the monarch’s peace overtures are timely and important to strengthening relationships among traditional institutions and communities.
He stressed that harmonious relations among traditional rulers and their respective communities remain critical to sustaining peace and creating an environment conducive to economic and social development.
The minister said the Olu of Warri’s approach had further demonstrated the important role traditional rulers can play in resolving differences, building bridges and promoting peaceful coexistence.

He said the monarch’s interventions had the potential to strengthen unity and create greater opportunities for development across the Warri metropolis.

The anniversary celebration also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to acknowledge the contributions of Ogiame Atuwatse III to peace, cultural renewal and development since his ascension to the throne.
Olu’s Peace Initiatives Attract Wider Commendation
The monarch’s engagements with neighbouring traditional institutions have continued to attract commendation from political leaders and other stakeholders, particularly those who view peaceful coexistence as essential to unlocking the economic and social potential of the Warri metropolis.
