SDP presidential candidate meets Olu of Warri behind closed-door

The Social Democratic Party presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, held a closed-door meeting with the Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse III on Tuesday.

According to sources, the duo had the discussion inside the Warri of Delta State monarch’s private residence.

It was gathered that the visit was part of the ongoing consultation of Prince Adebayo, an international lawyer and owner of KAFTAN TV, to actualise his presidential ambition.

Adebayo, who drove in a Rolls Royce, was led to see the monarch by Prince Yemi Emiko, a member of the royal family to the private residence of Atuwatse III, who recently celebrated his one-year anniversary on the throne.

The Punch reported that the SDP presidential candidate went into a closed-door meeting with Atuwatse III shortly after an exchange of pleasantries and photos session with the traditional ruler.

Details of the closed-door meeting could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report, but it might not be unconnected to the 2023 general election, according to insiders.

In the entourage of the SDP presidential candidate were some members of his campaign organisation led by Mr Godwin Osigbeme and the Delta State governorship candidate of the party, Chief Kenneth Gbagi.
