The Chairman of the famous Warri Rebirth Initiative, Elder Kess Agbosa, has urged people in Warri to live as one in order to restore the greatness of Warri.

He gave the advice in an exclusive media interaction with our correspondent during the Easter party of the group held in Warri on Monday, 1st April, 2024.

Agbosa opined that if people living in Warri can come together as one, it will solve the problem of ethnic rivalry in the area.

He disclosed that Warri Rebirth Initiative has embarked on unity talks, organised theatres on unity and activities aimed at promoting unity in Warri in schools.

“If Warri must be great again, then these are things we must do,” he stressed.

While identifying some of the challenges confronting the group that was formed over 15 years ago, he stated that “some people assumed that the initiative was formed to make money , which is not true. For the money is not even there.

“Some come to spy on us to see if we are practicing what we preach.

“And there is this foundamental flaw of this generation that Urhobos, Itsekiris and Ijaws are different ethnic groups and therefore they must tool their different ways.

“This is wrong, because all of us in Warri are one.

“Everybody in Warri must look at Warri as one family inrespective of our ethnic nationalities.

“This is the only way we can make Warri great again.”

However the publicity secretary of the group, Elder Patrick Origho who is the immediate past Head of Service ( HOS ) , Delta State who also spoke to our correspondent, gladly and proudly stated that Warri Rebirth Initiative has so far been able to bring people of like minds in Warri together in order to foster the principles of unity, cultural awareness with the realisation that Warri is a citadel of good people.

He also disclosed that the group was partnering with government to achieve its aims.

Meanwhile, It was celebration of unity galore among members and invited guests who danced their hearts out to the songs of yesteryears (old schools) in the glorious days of Warri dished out by a live musical band as Daniel Oji of Delta Broadcasting Service ( DBS ) Edjeba Agbarha Warri was the master of ceremony.

Guests were adequately served with delicious African and foreign dishes as well as local and foreign brewed drinks.
