Oritsejafor who congratulated the Olu on his first coronation anniversary, called on him to continue to lean on God for divine direction that would enable him take the oil city to enviable height.


The clergyman said Warri had the potential of becoming the Dubai of Africa if stakeholders and government at all levels contribute towards the peace and overall development of the city.

“If you are not greatful, you will become a great fool. We must learn to emphasise the importance of thanksgiving in our daily life,” Pastor Oritsejafor added.
