Osigidi cautions those against UPU endorsement, urge them to retrace their steps or face the full wrath of the gods of Urhoboland
Prominent Niger Delta youth leader and one time National President of Urhobo Youth Empowerment Forum, Amos Osigidi has berated those criticising Urhobo Progress Union's (UPU) endorsement of Olorogun David Edevbie as Urhobo choice for Governor come 2023, describing their action as a slap on the Urhobo Nation.
Amos Osigidi made this known while speaking with Journalists after a meeting with some Northern Opinion Leaders at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
The foremost Youth Leader lambasted those rejecting the endorsement as "enemies of the land" and called on them to retrace their steps or face the full wrath of the gods of the land.
"Their criticism is an affront on us all as a nation. This betrayal and "pull-him-down" attitude of few disgruntled elements must stop. We will not condone this rascality and disrespect for elders of Urhobo nation"
"This is not the first time UPU is endorsing Urhobo candidates for Governorship position in Delta State. In 2014, they did the same thing. I remember vividly during UPU 90th Anniversary celebration last year, Gov. Okowa categorically urged the Olorogun Moses Taiga led body to prune down the number of Aspirants from Delta central. So what has UPU done wrong?" He asked.
"Even Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa was endorsed by the Anioma Leaders of Thoughts prior to the 2015 general election over other notable aspirants from Delta North"
"As a father of many children who knows the capacity of each child, would you allow outsiders to dictate which of them to be sent to perform a particular task?"
"For those criticising the endorsement of UPU, they should know that the gods are wiser than humans. If they don't retrace their steps, the gods will fight against them anytime they introduce themselves as Urhobo sons and daughters"
"This is why I will always respect our Ijaws & Itsekiri's brothers. They will never kick against or fight their leaders openly. Whatever the decision of their leaders, it is binding on them all. Even the Hausa's will never do such" he concluded.
