Chief Okpako Urges Natives Of Arhavwarien, Ewu, Okparabe To Support Edijala

By : Akpovoke Otiti

A London based, business Mogul, Chief Pius Okpako has charged all Ewu Axis natives and the entire Urhobo kingdoms to muster support for Immanuel Edijala’s gubernatorial ambition and ensure his emergence as the Governor, come 2023.

Okpako who described Ewu - Axis which is located in the south- South Nigeria as the cradle of Urhobo culture, civilization and the origin of Urhobo nation, urged the people of the area to come out enmass and cast their votes for Edijala and PRP.

The London based philanthropist made the plea in an open letter written to the natives of Ewu - Axis people both at home and in Diaspora on the need to vote the PRP and its gubernatorial candidate in the coming general elections.

Okpako who stated in his letter that he is a grassroots political mobiliser, in the open letter affirmed that he will come down from the UK and as an Urhobo man who is well connected to his people, mobilizing for Edijala will not be a difficult task.

He said, “Immanuel Edijala may come from Okparabe Kingdom, yet he is an Urhobo Man and very well connected to all tribes in Delta State. He may be a member of People's Redemption Party PRP yet he is an Urhobo man. Who is that Urhobo person that is not connected to other tribes? Okparabe clan remains one of the kingdoms in Urhobo land and that fact must be respected.

“Today, Edijala our kinsman is seeking the support of Deltans even though he is contesting against other Urhobo sons, he must be given first priority by our people before political considerations are made. Will Ewu Axis his home deny their son the much needed support come 2023? God forbid.

“To all my brothers and sisters whereever you are and especially in Ughelli/Udu federal constituency, the whole world is watching, and the whole nation is waiting for what will come out of Ewu Axis as votes. So, I urge our people to come out in numbers to give Edijala the desired landslide victory he deserves"

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning.
