Tsola Emiko, the Olu of Warri, says he was instructed by the Holy Spirit to stand before the oracle.
He disclosed this in an interview with Punch Newspaper, published on Sunday, adding that he relies on the Holy Spirit for instruction.
Reacting to a question that borders on his faith as a Christian and involvement in cultural practices associated with his position as a traditional ruler, he said he always seeks the leading of the Holy Spirit before engaging in such practices.
“Christianity is more importantly about one’s individual’s relationship with Jesus Christ. When the Holy Spirit tells you to do a particular thing, even to fellow Christians, it may not sound Christian-like,” he said.
