Urhobo Youth Council (UYC) has kicked off its kingdom-to-kingdom campaign for all candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming general elections.
This followed the visitation by UYC led by its president, Godspower Enerho to palaces of traditional rulers in Urhobo land.
Those visited so far include the palaces of HRM Emmanuel Bethel Delekpe, Ohworu I, the Ovie of Udu Kingdom; HRM Ogurimerime, Ukori I, the Ovie of Agbon Kingdom; and HRM Ajuwe Simpson Sapele Obruche ll, Odio Rode Re Uwheru Kingdom.
Speaking during the visits, Enerho appealed to the kings and their subjects to vote for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa; Sheriff Oborevwori and Monday Onyeme as governorship candidate and running mate respectively.
Enerho also called for support for all other candidates of the party, adding that the PDP was the only party prepared to rescue and rebuild the country from the maladministration of the All Progressive Congress (APC)-led Federal Government.
The youth leader said Oborevwori was the best choice for Urhobo and Delta State, adding that, “our leader, who is going to be vice president, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, is a leader that Deltans can send, and he will deliver excellently.”
The president said the hardship of the APC administration was enough to vote them out.
“There is no fuel, and if you manage to see any, you are to buy it for N300 to N400 naira per litre. The prices of goods and food items have skyrocketed. Today everyone is lamenting bitterly the failed monetary policy of this administration because people cannot access their money and the hardship is too much,” he added.
He said a vote for all PDP candidates would take away the suffering the APC-led administration had put the nation through.
Ovie of Agbon Kingdom, Ogurimerime who spoke during a visit to his palace, said he was glad to receive youths drumming support for PDP candidates.
“As a good father, when your children come to you asking for prayers, you have to give it to them. You are here for my support and prayers for Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori for governor, Atiku-Okowa for president, and other PDP candidates.
“As a king who doesn’t belong to any party and who is a father to all, I pray that God gives you all your heart desires and that your candidates win for the betterment of Delta and the nation,” he stated
