The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, has inspected preparations for his fifth coronation anniversary in Okere, Warri, Delta State.
The monarch carried out the inspection during his morning fitness routine, riding an electric scooter through the area with members of his security team.
A video of the inspection was shared on his Facebook page on Saturday.
The post said the monarch conducted an on-the-spot assessment of preparations for his upcoming fifth coronation anniversary as part of his fitness routine.
Residents and other people who saw the monarch during the inspection cheered and hailed him as he moved around the community.
His public appearance also attracted several reactions on Facebook, with users praising his accessibility and friendly manner.
One user, Iniobong Esen, described the monarch’s approach to leadership as commendable, saying leaders should be able to move freely among their people and understand their living conditions.
Another user, Avwerosuo Amos Govina, described Atuwatse as a king with “class and charisma,” while Enujeke Prosper called him “the Digital King with a difference.”
The Olu of Warri is expected to mark his fifth year on the throne with a series of activities.
The monarch has previously attracted attention for using an electric scooter during public appearances instead of a traditional motorcade.
In March 2025, he rode a scooter through his ancestral home, Ode-Itsekiri, where residents welcomed and cheered him.
In December 2025, he also rode an electric scooter while inspecting a newly completed road in Delta State.
