The Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide has congratulated Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on his victory at the Supreme Court on Friday.
Speaking to journalists at a Press briefing held at the Urhobo Cultural Centre, Okere, Warri, on Sunday, President General of UPU, Ese Gam, while congratulating Oborevwori, said: “The storm is over.”
The UPU also appealed to the opposition to sheath their swords, join hands and support Oborevwori’s government to move the state forward. Gam said: “I use this opportunity to appeal and implore all our other sons from other political parties, particularly the All Progressives Congress (APC), Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Labour Party (LP) to come together and reason under the UPU body so that we can be better equipped to assist our son, Oborevwori.”
The UPU also congratulated the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), APC, LP, SDP and others who contested the March 18, 2023 governorship election.
Gam said that since the incumbent governor was elected, Urhobo nation has been in tentacles. It has been so tense and disturbed. The most worrisome part of it is that all the contending forces are all Urhobo sons. It was not a fight between the Urhobo ethnic body and any other nationality in the state. It was more or less an in-house fight.
