The leading Political Pressure Group in Delta State, the Delta Political Vanguard (DPV) has felicitated the Urhobo Nation on the occasion of the 74th Memorial Day Celebration of it’s legend and first President of the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU), Mukoro Mowoe, which took place yesterday in Ughelli.

Speaking on behalf of the DPV, a leading Pressure Group in the People Democratic Party (PDP), Comrade Sanco Ese Darlington who is the Secretary of the Group noted that the present leaders of Urhobo Nation must rise up and emulate the virtues of the late Mukoro Mowoe who stood up to fight and defended Urhobo Nation causes in his times, unifying Urhobo Nation and making sure Urhobo Nation was never divided.
Sanco, who is also the President of Urhobo Development and Unity Forum (UDUF) wondered if the present leaders of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) and leaders of other Prominent Urhobo Socio, Cultural and Political Groups are not bothered about what legacy they intended to be remembered for. He stated that Mukoro Mowoe will be embarrassed and will turn it’s grave to see that the almighty Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) which he helped to birth is no longer alive to it’s duty of unifying Urhobo Sons and Daughters and are now partisan and keeping quiet in complicit silence as it’s children fight a macabre Political War to the consternation of other Ethnic Nations who looked up to Urhobo Nation as big brothers.
Comrade Sanco called on Urhobo Nation Leaders to puts it’s house in order or risk losing the confidence of the younger generation of Urhobo Sons and Daughters and warned that the Urhobo Progress Union must refrain from endorsing one Son against another in Political contest but to embrace all regardless of Political Party be it PDP, APC, APGA, SDP, LP or any other.
Comrade Sanco wondered why the DC – 23 Group has all of a sudden become silent and look away when it ought to wade into the political fight between two sons whom they recommended to Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa and the Delta State PDP as possible Governorship Candidates of Sheriff Oborevwori and Olorogun David Edevbie.
He called on the DC- 23 Group to as a matter of urgency do what is needful and help stop the needless political war that has worried other Ethnic Nation about the divisiveness in Urhobo Nation.
