How the Dispute Started
The disagreement began after the comedian's proposed show was advertised as a Warri event, even though it was scheduled to take place in Effurun, within the Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
The Wado City Advocacy Group took issue with that branding, demanding that Effurun be properly identified as the host location.
The controversy eventually led to the cancellation of the original September 20 show, which had been planned for Monarchy Event Centre on the Effurun-Sapele Road.
Real Warri Pikin had previously described the situation as troubling, saying the backlash came alongside threats and reflected deeper ethnic tensions in the region.
Parties Agree on Peace and Collaboration
In their joint statement, all parties acknowledged that the reconciliation meeting gave everyone a chance to speak freely and address the concerns that had fuelled the public fallout.
"The meeting provided an opportunity for everyone involved to speak openly, clarify concerns and address the matters that had led to the recent disagreement," the statement read.
They committed to leaving the dispute behind and focusing on making the rescheduled event a success.
"After extensive discussions, all parties agreed to put the matter behind them and work together in the interest of peace and the successful hosting of the event," the statement added.
One significant outcome of the meeting was a mutual agreement to stop all public exchanges, especially on social media.
The parties said there would be "no further public confrontation, exchange of accusations or hostile communication concerning the matter, whether on social media or through any other platform."
All parties also issued an apology to the public, recognising that the open dispute had unsettled residents, fans of the comedian and observers.
"We therefore jointly extend our sincere apologies to anyone who may have been inconvenienced, disappointed or affected by the manner in which the disagreement became public," the statement said.
