“Erejuwa II”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Erejuwa was born ca 1909 as Wilson Gbasimi Emiko, he attended a CMS missionary school at Ogbesse, thereafter he worked with United African Company rising to become a provincial cooperatives president. In 1952, the Olu's title was changed from Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri by the Action Group led Western regional government who were in an alliance with the Warri National Union. Warri was the capital township of Warri Province, a colonial administrative unit with Warri Division as a sub-unit consisting of Warri Township, Sapele and Forcados. The government decision led to protest led by non-Itsekiri groups within Warri Division who feared the title could lead the Olu to lay claim as paramount authority within Warri Division.^[2]

As Olu of Warri, he was appointed regional Minister without portfolio and president of the Warri Divisional Traditional Council.

Following the creation of a Mid-West region, Erejuwa was deposed by the NCNC led regional government in 1964 and deported to Ogbesse.^[3] He was re-appointed in 1966 by the new military government of David Ejoor.^[4]
