Storm Mbarka

The leadership of Save Urhobo Youths Forum, (SUYF ) a Sociocultural umbrella body of Urhobo Youths which cut  across the twenty four Urhobo kingdoms  has condemned  the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) endorsement  of Olorogun David  Edevbie one of the PDP Governorship aspirants  as the consensus candidate of the Urhobo Nation for the Delta 2023  Governnordhip election .

The Save Urhobo Youths  Forum at the end of a well attended emergency

exco meeting held at Silver Line Hotel

Effurun, issued a communique which unequivocally  decried   the UPU endorsement of David Edevbie .

The Urhobo Youth Forum  further assertted that the idea was mendaciously ochestrated to  serve  vested interest of  few Political godfather's who

have nothing to offer the masses that  are  clamoring  for a free fair and transparent Primary

election, where  the delegates will decide  who  becomes  the fllagbearer of the Party on May 21st.

 

Comrade Agadia Samuel Oghenegare

the President of Save Urhobo Youths Forum who addressed a group of selected Journalists in the same  venue shortly after the meeting  said:  " As you can see l called an emergency exco meeting  over the endorsement episode and the stormy wind it has gathered in the political  space of Delta State."

 Continuing, he added :  " Without mixing words , l am  telling  you categorically that , the Save Urhobo Youths Forum have already issued a communique against that lopsided agenda. "

 " l granted this press chat to communicate our view to ,

His Excellency, Senator Dr Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, the Executive Governor of Delta State ,the Party Chairman, Bar Kingsley Esiso, and other relevant stakeholders  of the party Particularly the delegates to set aside the ill  motivated endorsement of David Edevbie by the UPU."

  The Urhobo  Youth boss explained that it is very   wrong for the UPU

to come out to support one aspirant when they are supposed to play a fatherly role to all the aspirants of Urhobo extraction and guide them in a level playing field until one of them will emerges .

Agadia lamented that  what  the UPU  have done if not carefully handled is possible of creating deep seated hatred and long time acrimonies  which are actually avoidable if UPU had just remained  apolitical and play by the rule of the game as a father  figure to all the  aspirants.

 

 Speaking further,Comrade Agadia Samuel Oghenegare the Urhobo Youth

leader   expressed the view that there are no infallible statistics  to prove that David Edevbie is better than other   Urhobo  aspirants in the race for the Governorship especially when  the UPU

in that inconsequential endorsement  acknowledged that all the aspirants have the requisite knowledge and relevant experience to  govern Delta

State come 2023 if given the mandate by the electorates via the ballot.

He urged the delegates once again to brace up and go to Asaba with unruffled feathers to select a candidate who will

add value to the SMART Agenda and the Stronger Delta Vision of Governnor Okowa.
