March 27, (THEWILL) – Ahead of the 2023 governorship election in Delta State, the Urhobo Community in Bayelsa State has started mobilising its members to register and collect their permanent voter cards.
The move is part of efforts to usher in a government that is both responsible and responsive to the yearnings of the citizens of Delta State at home and in the Diaspora.
The leader of the Urhobo in Bayelsa State, King Joshua Apoyi Aweyu, Okobaro 1, who superintends over the 24 Urhobo clans living in Bayelsa State, said the people had decided to be part of the electioneering process this time, since successive governments of Delta State had failed to identify with them.
“Even the present Governor of Bayelsa , Senator Douye Diri and his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, have confirmed and appreciated the numerical strength of the Urhobo living in all the eight local government areas of Bayelsa State.
We are poised to repeat the same feat at home since the Delta State governorship election is coming up in 2023,” he said.
