As his coronation as the Olu of Warri Kingdom draws near, Omoba Tsola Emiko has gifted himself two brand new, customized cars, a Rolls-Royce and Bentley 2021 model.
It was gathered that the customized Rolls-Royce would be used to usher in Emiko as the new king on Saturday, the day of his coronation, while the Bentley would be used for the thanksgiving service on Sunday.
Palace sources hinted that the Olu-designate would ride from his seclusion (Idaniken) to Warri Club in the Rolls-Royce on the day of his coronation.
On arrival at the Warri Club, he would walk into a waiting regatta boat and proceed to Ode-Itsekiri, the ancestral abode of the Itsekiri people.
