A political pressure group under the auspices of Urhobo Grassroot Political Forum (UGPF) at the weekend, endorsed Chief Ede Dafinone for the Senate seat of Delta Central Senatorial District in Delta State.
The group stated that haven examined all the candidates that are jostling for the senate position in Delta Central Senatorial District, the group concluded that it was Chief Ede Dafinone that is more qualified to take over from where late senator Ewherido stopped, judging from the fact that he contested under the umbrella of the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) primaries with late Ewherido in 2011.
Speaking further, the President of the Urhobo Grassroot Political Forum, Bar. E.O. Oginibo added that the philanthropic gesture of Dafinone towards the development of the Urhobo People through Senator David Dafinone Foundation with training centres in Sapele, Oghara, Mosogar and Jesse town to train and empower the youths in electrical, hairdressing and other various professions, demonstrated that Chief Ede is God sent to the Urhobo people to help to remove them from the abject poverty and penury they found themselves in recent times. While appealing that the training centre should be extended to Uvwie, Udu, Ughelli North, Ughelli South and even Ethiope East as well, so that more Urhobos would benefit from the kind gesture of Chief Ede Dafinone and he called on other Urhobo leaders to emulate his sense of benevolence towards Urhobo people.
The group implored people of Delta Central not to allow this golden opportunity for them to lay good foundation, by unanimously endorsing Chief Ede Dafinone to slip out of their hands. According to the group, they said that Chief Ede Dafinone has the interest of Urhobo people at heart and all that is needed from the people of the Delta Central Senatorial District now is for them to endorse and support him to serve his people at the upper house in the National Assembly, Abuja.
