Traditional rulers and palace chiefs in Delta and Edo States have hailed the Universal Monarch, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu, as a supernatural teacher and divine personality whose presence brings blessings, peace and spiritual upliftment.
The monarchs spoke separately during individual visits by the spiritual leader to their palaces in both states as part of his ongoing tour, which has drawn reverence from traditional institutions and followers of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, a universal spiritual movement.
At Ubulu Uku in Aniocha South Local Government Area, the Universal Monarch declared divine blessings upon the kingdom during an official visit to High Chief Chidimma Keke, the Iyi-Ibor Aka Ego I.
The event marked what palace authorities described as a historic spiritual encounter for the community.
In his welcome address, High Chief Keke expressed gratitude for the visit, describing it as the highest spiritual honour ever accorded his throne.
He said the presence of the Universal Monarch had ushered in renewed peace, favour and hope for accelerated progress across his kingdom.
Representing the Universal Monarch, Patriarch Christ Servant Innocent Omini formally pronounced blessings upon the throne and people, assuring that the impact of the visit would resonate across generations.
He noted that divine presence always brings transformation wherever it manifests.
The Delta State Administrator of BCS, Princess Osisike, and members of her executive council were also present to receive the delegation, underscoring the significance attached to the visit within the Brotherhood’s leadership structure.
Palace sources said the visit formed part of the Universal Monarch’s wider tour across states and countries to sensitise about upcoming 25th anniversary celebration of His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu’s coronation as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
In neighbouring Edo State, a similar atmosphere of reverence greeted the Universal Monarch during his visit to the palace of High Chief George Obasagi, who described the occasion as a divine continuation of blessings upon his family lineage.
High Chief Obasagi recounted how his father had experienced a life-changing spiritual encounter with the Universal Monarch decades ago, which he said transformed the fortunes of their family.
He noted that the latest visit reaffirmed that enduring spiritual connection.
Moved by the honour, the Edo monarch pledged to attend the forthcoming Silver Jubilee celebration of the Universal Monarch’s coronation scheduled to hold from April 13 to 19, 2026, at the Brotherhood’s world headquarters in Calabar.
He described the invitation as both a privilege and a divine call.
Speaking through his representative, PCS Innocent Omini, the Universal Monarch
extended blessings upon the Edo traditional ruler and his household, declaring that divine favour, peace and upliftment would remain permanently established within the family and kingdom.
The Edo State Administrator, Christ Ambassador Martins Monyei, alongside members of his executive council and sensitisation teams, witnessed the visit, which observers say has further strengthened ties between traditional institutions and the Brotherhood as preparations intensify for the forthcoming jubilee celebrations.
