Urhobo must not be in opposition —Omo-Agege
UGHELLI—THE senator representing Delta Central senatorial district, in the National Assembly, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has said that the Urhobo nation should not be in opposition but should rather key into the mainstream of Nigerian politics by working closely with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The senator who addressed a gathering, weekend, in Ughelli, Delta State, at a reception by the people of the district in his honour, said that the Urhobo nation must take its rightful place in governance, stressing that he would be a strong advocate in the business of law making and national development to bring the best bargain to the Urhobo.
Applauding the people of the district for their support for him he said: “The journey was rough and turbulent. Our mandate was stolen.
“People who stole elections and had no conscience went into Gods house to celebrate their theft. They mocked God and had the effrontery to go into the house of God for thanksgiving, but in the end, God proved himself.
“As leaders, we didn’t encourage the spilling of blood to recover our mandate. We knew the law and we used it with divine help to restore our victory to set Urhoboland free. Let me promise you today, we have finally put an end to electoral impunity in Urhoboland. Those who don’t like it, can jump into the closest river.”
Speaking on the impasse trailing the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, he said: “For Urhobo to succeed, we must speak with one voice and if we must do that, we must have a united UPU.
“We all need each other and we can’t afford to have these quarrels. It is only when we have a united UPU that UPU can lead us to the promise land.”
Describing Omo-Agege as a vibrant senator that would live up to the expectations of the Urhobo nation, the 2015 Labour Party governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru, while commending supporters of the party for their perseverance and sacrifice, said: “We are not going to get our freedom on a platter of gold.”
