Edevbie: APC Youth Leader Chides UPU

Days after the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta Central condemned the endorsement of Chief David Edevbie by the Urhobo Progress Union, a leader of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC in Delta Central has also rallied against the UPU’s action.

Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Delta Central, Famous Oyibo, condemned the UPU for derailing from its socio-cultural objectives into the political arena.

According to Oyibo: “The Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, should completely steer away from partisan politics because a father is expected to do everything possible to unite his children and not to separate them by pitching one against the other.

“The UPU leadership should learn from history as the mistake it is trying to make now had been made way back in 1963 when the UPU adopted their own candidate against the choice of the National Convention of Nigerian Citizens, NCNC, led by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, then President of Nigeria and foremost leader of the party. The Urhobos almost did not recover from the consequences of that mistake in history,” the APC youth leader said in chiding the UPU over the endorsement of Edevbie.

“If the UPU is adopting David Edevbie of the PDP, what is it talking about other aspirants of Urhobo extraction like Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege of the APC and others who are coming from other parties? Are they not sons and daughters under the UPU?”.
