Distinguished Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, owes the people of Delta Central—and indeed the entire Urhobo nation—a heartfelt apology for imposing a successor who has failed to uphold the legacy of strong, vocal representation in the Nigerian Senate.
According to Abel Johngold, a journalist cum humanist, Distinguished Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR facilitated the emergence of a weak successor.
The emergence of Senator Ede Dafinone has not only dimmed the vibrant political light once shining from Delta Central, but it has also silenced the voice of a people known for producing bold, articulate, and principled lawmakers. From the towering legacy of the late Senator David Dafinone, to the fiery convictions of Senators Eradajaye, Fred Brume, and Pius Ewherido, the Urhobo nation has never lacked capable hands to speak truth to power—until now.
Abel Johngold noted that “Senator Omo-Agege must not only apologize, he must seek the forgiveness of his people for this political miscalculation that has left Urhobos voiceless at a time when their voices are most needed.
“He must apologize to the Urhobo nation and seek their forgiveness for the choice of Senator Ede Dafinone, whose performance has fallen short of expectations.
“The Urhobos have a proud legacy of producing articulate and vibrant lawmakers—such as the late Senator David Dafinone, Senator Eradajaye, Senator Fred Brume, and Senator Pius Ewherido. Unfortunately, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, has brought forth a successor who has effectively muted the voice of the Urhobo people in the Nigerian Senate.” He added
