The President-General of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide, Olorogun Moses Taiga, has called on politicians of Urhobo extraction to prevail on their supporters to stop the senseless political violence currently going on in Urhobo land. Olorogun Taiga spoke against the background of reported political violence, which led to the death of political party supporters in Uvwie and Abraka in Delta Central Senatorial District, Delta State.
“Do not shed the blood of any Urhobo son or daughter to achieve your political ambition. If you kill the people you are aspiring to serve, who will you serve when you get to power; goats and other domestic animals?” Olorogun Taiga asked rhetorically.
He advised Urhobo sons being used as thugs to be wise and tell their masters to use their own children instead. “Do not endanger or waste your precious life for any politician,” he admonished the youths.
Olorogun Taiga reiterated his earlier call on politicians to go about their campaigns peacefully.
He urged all contestants, especially those of the two major political parties in the state not to upset the fragile peace in Delta State, in general, and Urhoboland, in particular.
