According to the President of UPIO, Olorogun Dr Ebenezer Okorodudu, the award was in recognition of Senator Dafinone’s “immeasurable contributions to the growth and advancement of the Urhobo Nation,” citing in particular his “pivotal role in restoring peace to Okuama Community after the military attack” and his efforts in securing the release of the Ovie of Ewu Kingdom is His Royal Majesty, Clement Ikolo.

Speaking further, he argued that contesting against Senator Dafinone at this time would be unwise. “Moreover, the attempt to challenge Senator Ede Dafinone at a time when he is delivering tangible results is not just politically insensitive — it is strategically unwise. Dafinone has emerged as a stabilising figure, one whose representation has brought dignity, investments, and new visibility to Delta Central. Abandoning a performing senator simply because a few individuals want to recycle old ambitions would not only disrupt ongoing progress but also weaken the collective strength of the district.”
