Cape Coast Welcomes Royalty: Ogiame Atuwatse III and Olori Atuwatse to Attend 2025 Oguaa Fetu Afahye Festival

The ancient city of Cape Coast welcomed Nigerian royalty as His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Olu of Warri, and his wife, Her Highness Olori Atuwatse III, arrived ahead of the revered Oguaa Fetu Afahye festival. Their visit marks a symbolic union of West Africa’s cultural powerhouses, linking the oil-rich creeks of the Niger Delta with the ancestral shores of Ghana’s Central Region.

This historic visit is a unifying moment between two great coastal kingdoms. From the oil-rich waters of Warri to the ancestral shores of Cape Coast, the journey of Ogiame and Olori underscores a bridge that connects heritage, strengthens cultural identity, and affirms that African kingship is not a relic of the past but a living institution of leadership.

Their participation carries a profound mission: to preserve kingship as a cornerstone of African identity, to foster stronger ties across nations, and to remind the world that Africa’s future is best built on its deepest roots.

The Oguaa Fetu Afahye, one of Africa’s most revered festivals, is a spiritual and communal renewal. Rooted in ancestral traditions, it brings together chiefs, queens, and communities in rituals of thanksgiving, heritage preservation, and forward-looking solidarity.

For His Majesty the Olu of Warri, who ascended the throne in 2021, the journey from the oil-rich creeks of the Niger Delta to the historic shores of Ghana is symbolic. It highlights his vision of bridging kingdoms and strengthening bonds between African nations through culture, diplomacy, and shared heritage.

The couple’s arrival has already generated excitement among Ghanaians, with traditional leaders and cultural enthusiasts welcoming the visit as a reminder that Africa’s future is best built upon its deepest roots.
