Delta Central Senatorial hopeful, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor has received blessings from the Traditional Rulers in Ughelli in North Local Government Area for the senatorial position.
This came during his visit to the five royal fathers in the area at the palace of the Ovie of Ughelli Kingdom during the weekend.
Speaking on behalf of the Kings, HRH, Ovie of Ughelli Kingdom said; “What happened to Late Ewherido did not only happen to the people of Ewu but the whole Urhobos. And at the moment, we need a true person to replace him. So we have agreed that Olorogun O’tega Emerhor should sit on the Senatorial seat of Delta Central.
“I pray that God should answer our prayers and stand by him. We the Royal Fathers in Ughelli North local government area are solidly behind Olorogun O’tega Emerhor. So any evil plan standing on his way should keep off or God will destroy them. Woe unto those who will try to deceive Urhobos as spy because the Lord has answered our prayers in Jesus name. When you get there, always remember your people and continually to attract the dividends of democracy to the door steps of all Urhobos.”
In his speech, Olorogun Emerhor thanked the Royal Fathers for their blessings, promising to fight the Urhobo cause if he gets to Abuja.
He said; “Today is a great day for our campaign organization and we commend the traditional rulers in Ughelli North Local Government Area. Urhobos need a genuine man of humility that has love for his people. And I have offered myself to vie for the senate position of Delta Central.
“We need someone to really reduce the rate of unemployment in Delta Central and Delta State in general. For instance, the Sapele Port, Delta Steel Company (DSC) and others that are not functioning would have brought over 80% employments to Delta Central people.”
“I have that zeal to work for my people and I will never relent in serving my people at all time. We the Urhobos must actualize our goal.”
Meanwhile, the Ovie of Agbaroh kingdom, Ovie of Ewreni Kingdom, Ovie of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom and the Ovie of Ogor Kingdom had prayed for Emerhor, asking God to grant him the senatorial seat.
