His first title "Akulagba of Warri Kingdom" was conferred on him by the Olu (king) of the Warri kingdom, Olu Atuwatse II. When his successor Ogiame Ikenwoli ascended the throne, he conferred on Ayiri Emami the title Ologbotsere (prime minister) of the Warri kingdom.[1] He was illegal suspended on 30 March 2021 as Ologbotsere by the Ginuwa 1 Ruling House, and on October 5 2021, the Olu Ogiame Atuwatse III whose case is still in court for the illegal ascension to the throne of Warri Kingdom as the 21st Olu of Warri recalled his right to the title Ologbotsere. However, Prince Yemi Emiko who was instrumental in paving the way for Ogiame Atuwatse III to become king has openly come out to say Emami's suspension was done in error.[2][3][4]
