Jonathan gave the congratulatory message when he visited the Olu at his palace on Saturday in Warri.
The party gave the congratulatory message in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja on Tuesday.
Obasanjo gave the admonition on Sunday at the Coronation Thanksgiving Service of the Olu, held at the Warri Palace chapel.
In a statement by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, the president salutes the Kingdom for overcoming the issues that arose after the initial appointment of the Olu-designate, urging that any outstanding matters should be amicably resolved in the interest of peace and tranquility.
The deployment of the officers was contained in a statement issued in Warri on Wednesday by the acting Police Public Relations Officer of the command, DSP Bright Edafe.
In May, the earlier unveiled Olu of Warri-designate, Prince Tsola Emiko, son of Atuwatse II, the 19th Olu of Warri Kingdom, had proceeded on the 90-day compulsory seclusion ahead of his official coronation, which is now slated for next month.
Pressure is being mounted by Ologhotsere descendants for Emami to approach the court with a single application or join already filed suit challenging the enstoolment of the Prince.
It was learnt that the invitation to the Ologbotsere is coming just as the Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa in a dramatic twist extended his condolence to the Itsekiri nation over the now controversial demise of the Olu of Warri, His Royal Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli.
The Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu, stated this on Tuesday shortly after the State Executive Council meeting presided by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in Asaba.
The contender, who sent a distress message to some relatives and friends about his ordeal, alleged that he was being framed up owing to a lawsuit he filed in Warri, Delta State to stop the alleged illegality taking place in the Olu succession battle.
The monarch gave the advice on Sunday at the “End of 2018 Year Party” organised by the Warri Rebirth Initiative in Warri.
