By Godwin-Maria Utuedoye

Addressing journalists moment after the declaration of Rt. Hon. Waive’s victory, Prince Sony Jifas Ogbon, JP, said if not for the conscienceless nature of our people, there wouldn’t have been need going to tribunal because the masses massively voted for all APC candidates  during the elections.

He noted that one of the mandate of the Federated Movement Of Urhobo Youth Leaders is to defend anything good and as well work sincerely to actualized the betterment of Urhobo nation in particular, and for the good of Delta State and Nigeria in general.

The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division had earlier Wednesday, November 1, 2023 upheld the victory of Rt. Hon. Rev. Francis Waive, the member representing Ughelli North/South/Udu Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives in a judgment led by Justice Olubunmi Oyewole.

It would be recall that the State House of Assembly and National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal, had sacked Waive over his academic records and declared the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), candidate, Solomon Awhinawhi, winner of the election in a judgment delivered on September 11th, 2023.

However, the Appeal Court had set aside the judgment of the tribunal and upheld the victory of Waive at the poll.

In a joyful mood of victory, Prince Jifas Ogbon and members of the group, maintained that the quality of those featured by the APC for Delta Central, Delta South and Ughelli North, South and Udu Federal Constituency were too powerful for the opposition to compete.

“They are not just politicians, but they are people with high repute of integrity, honesty and hard work.

“Do you know they are not just politicians, but they are all successful, contented and people of character and knowledge.”

The Federated Movement Of Urhobo Youth Leaders asserted that, Rev. Francis Waive, Sen. Ede Dafinone and Sen. Joel Onowakpor are people that once anyone make mention of their names anywhere outside the shores of the country, you will see and hear foreigners saying, I know him or know them, they are good men of class and integrity, Well experienced, honest, sincere and representing their various constituency’s positively well.

The group said; the representation of Hon. Waive in the past tenure and  years attracted unimaginable development of both human, capital and infrastructure to the constituency just like the immediate past deputy senate president who attracted to Delta, not only Delta Central, but all, numerous empowerments and  development.

The group congratulated Sen. Dafinone, Sen. Onowakpor, Hon. Waive and Hon. Egbetema and urged them to carry every youth irrespective of their political affiliations in order to develop not only the people but the areas they represented.
