Isaac Omafuaire.
The conferment formed part of activities marking the first coronation anniversary of the revered monarch, which was celebrated on Friday at the Ohworode’s Palace in Akpere-Olomu Community.
While Olorogun Akpokona Omafuaire was conferred with the prestigious title of Iyete of Olomu, his elder brother, Olorogun (Engr.) Isaac Omafuaire, received the title of Owena of Olomu.
Other illustrious sons and daughters of the ancient kingdom were also honoured with traditional titles in recognition of their contributions to the development, growth and progress of Olomu Kingdom.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Ohworode expressed appreciation to the people of Olomu for the respect, love and support they had shown him since his emergence as the traditional ruler of the kingdom.
He recalled his recent tour of the various communities in Olomu, describing the reception and show of affection from the people as overwhelming.
“I was very happy beyond my expectation,” the monarch said, expressing gratitude to the people for the warm reception accorded him throughout the tour.
Thanking the people for turning out in large numbers to celebrate his first coronation anniversary, the monarch charged the newly installed chiefs to uphold the dignity of their traditional titles through good conduct and commitment to the development of the kingdom.
He particularly urged them to respect the Constitution of Olomu Kingdom and abide by the oath of allegiance they had sworn to, warning that any breach would attract disciplinary measures.
“If you do not, we will sanction you,” he cautioned.
The monarch also reiterated his appreciation to the people for the honour, cooperation and respect accorded him during his tour of the kingdom, urging them to sustain the spirit of unity and communal harmony.
Dignitaries at the ceremony included Olori Magege and Prince (Olorogun) Godwin Ogbon, among other prominent personalities.
