He stated that
the earlier date for the coronation, which was September 26, was changed due to
the new date of Sept 28 for the governorship election in Edo state .
Akenzua said:
“The Edaiken N’Uselu will now depart finally from Uselu to Eko-Ohae on October
8, 2016. His Royal Highness will normally perform some important ceremonies
connected with the coronation everyday for seven to 10 days prior to the day of
his final departure from Uselu.
“We like to
inform the general public that from the day the Edaiken N’Uselu leaves Uselu
for Eko-Ohae, the use of coral beads by those who are normally entitled, will
be restored and the current use of “Omo N’Orhue” (white beads) will be
discontinued.”
‘Furthermore,
burial ceremonies are prohibited throughout the period of the coronation
process,” he added.
