By Dafe Rukevwe
The Joe Omene-led Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) executive, has congratulated Chief Ovedje Ogboru over his emergence as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the governorship election in 2019.
In a congratulatory message made available to Oasis Magazine (OM), and signed by the National Secretary of UPU, Martins Ahweyevu Mukoro Esq., the socio-cultural organization described Great Ovedje Ogboru as a tested political strategist.
The congratulatory message read: “On behalf of the National Executive Committee of Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, we wish to heartily congratulate our illustrious son, Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru, fondly called the people’s General on the momentous occasion of his victory as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC at the recently concluded delegates Congress held at Asaba.
“We also congratulate the APC as a political party for providing Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru with a popular platform to actualise his gubernatorial ambition which has been unfairly denied him by the powers that be, as his victories at the polls were successfully stolen in the past.
“We are confident that the people’s votes will count this time as the audacious misconduct of snatching ballot boxes and use of fraudulent incident forms have been reasonably eradicated with the enhanced use of the card readers.
“As an ethnic nationality, the 5th in Nigeria, it is our hope that Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru and the APC will speedily reach out to his fellow contestants within the party and unite so that with unity, the desired change will occur in the government of Delta State.”
“Congratulations to Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru and APC for getting it right this time around,” they added.
