UGHELLI—TRADITIONAL rulers from Delta North senatorial district (Anioma) in Delta State, have met with royal fathers from Delta Central senatorial district (Urhobo) to seek the support of Urhobo ethnic group for Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in the state.
Vanguard learned that it was the first time over 40 royal fathers from both ethnic groups were meeting for such a purpose.
At the meeting hosted by the Ovie of Ughelli, HRM Wilson Oharisi, they resolved to sink their tribal differences and work together for the common good of Deltans.
Our source said that the monarchs harped on their commitment to a united and indivisible Delta State, where peace, justice and equity would prevail and condemned politics of divisiveness, which they described as unacceptable.
Speaking on behalf of the Urhobo monarchs, the Ovie of Mosogar Kingdom, HRM, S.O. Omene, confirmed that it was the first time traditional rulers from Delta North and Delta Central senatorial districts would meet to chart a common ground for the political future of the state.
