…Meets With Urhobo Professionals, Leaders In Abuja
The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ede Dafinone, has appealed to all Urhobo sons and daughters to close ranks and build stronger support systems that will foster collective progress within the Urhobo Nation.
Speaking at a Meet-and-Greet event he hosted in Abuja during the week, Dafinone said the gathering was conceived to unite Urhobo professionals and leaders across diverse fields, stressing that stronger collaboration was necessary to consolidate the Urhobo voice on the national stage.
“During the week, I had the pleasure of hosting another Meet-and-Greet in Abuja, which brought together Urhobo people from diverse fields, with the goal of promoting unity, support, and collaboration among our people,” the senator said.
He urged participants to lift one another up and ensure that no Urhobo is left behind in their quest for advancement. “I encouraged everyone present to create opportunities and support their fellow Urhobo brothers and sisters wherever they find themselves. I also urged them to pull up other Urhobos in need of support, so that together, we can all grow in our various workplaces,” he added.
Dafinone noted that the Abuja event was not just a networking exercise but a deliberate strategy to inspire synergy and build capacity among Urhobo people. “This is more than just a networking event. It’s an opportunity for Urhobo people to connect, share ideas, and reaffirm our collective commitment to the progress and development of our Senatorial District and the Urhobo Nation as a whole,” he said.
He emphasized that such engagements are crucial for strengthening the Urhobo identity and influence, particularly in a competitive political environment where unity and mutual support are decisive.
The senator assured that the Meet-and-Greet series will continue across Nigeria and the diaspora to bring more Urhobos into the fold and sustain the drive for inclusion, progress, and political relevance.
Reaffirming his commitment to the growth of Delta Central, Dafinone said he will continue to champion Urhobo unity both at home and at the national level, describing it as a duty he owes his people.
