The leadership of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, yesterday, has taken a position by appealing to the senators, President Muhammadu Buhari and the party leaders to endorse Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as soul candidate for the Deputy Senate President position.

The UPU President General, Chief Joe Omene who spoke to newsmen at Mosogar, Ethiope West local government area of Delta state, said Southeast has had its fair share in the leadership of the senate since inception of democracy, so should support Omo-Agege from Southsouth for the Deputy Senate President.


Omene said the likes of Senators Adolphus Wabara, Ken Nnamani, Evan Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo, Anyim Pius Anyim and others have at one time held the position of the Senate President, before Ekweremadu and the Southsouth has been supportive, expressing surprise why now that a Southsouth senator is contesting, that Sen. Uzor Kalu is coming out to contest for DSP.

He said, “It is on this ground we are appealing to all Southsouth senators irrespective of political party to join hands together to ensure the position does not go out of hand. This is not the time to segregate or divide but to unite to achieve a common goal of the people and growth of Southsouth.

“We also know Mr. President and the party leadership will not fail us in this struggle because it is obvious that Omo-Agege has been tested and his loyalty is not in doubt, it was this we saw that all Urhobos, Deltans and Southsouth are calling on him to come and represent them in that capacity of Deputy Senate President.

“We are on behalf of the Urhobo people at home and in diaspora appealing to Sen. Uzor Kalu and others to pull their weight behind Omo-Agege for the Deputy Senate President for one good turn they say deserves another. Tomorrow we will still be there for either Southeast or Southwest and we have to also reciprocate.

The mace thief can never ever be a senate president.

U people can do him a favour by voting him as next governor

Kanu may just Nick this one

Hmmm....nawa oo....everybody don turn beggy beggy finish

See the APC pharisee up there dismissing the mace incident ..

Two demons from hell...where is hope uzordinma sef?

Igbo should show some love to Urobo now.
Remember you include them in your Biafra map.

Why beg? I thought they had to work for it just as Igbo have been told to work for it in order to clinch the presidency.

Senators vote not Nairalanders

How can a two term governor step down for a mace stealer?

Only in Nigeria... people whom have desecrated the constitution, thrown the laws into dustbin, stolen the mase of the Senate are adhered into leading same positions..

South south should opt a better candidate to challenge OUK, what is wrong with Nigerians and its senators wanting to be annointed into leadership positions..

This is a very bad precedence... are elections going to be mere formalities in the near future..

Omo Agege my man...

For Ghana?!?

Anything aside Ekweremmadu should go.

it is not urhobo begging. these are agege buttlickers.
someone who was attempting to destroy an organization should not be allowed to head that organization

URHOBO ARE NOT VERY SERIOUS.


THEY DID NOT BEG FEMI GBAJABIAMILA TO STEP DOWN FROM SPEAKER, SINCE OSINBANJO IS ALREADY VP AND BUKOLA WAS THE LAST SENATE PRESIDENT, PLUS YORUBA PRODUCED THE LAST DEPUTY SPEAKER OF REPS ALL TOGETHER.



IT IS IGBO THAT WILL GIVE UP DEPUTY SENATE PRESIDENT FOR DEM.



JOKERS!

Why tribalism? Let the best man win

This one I'm seeing MASE MESS MASS MAIZE.. I'm confused, i thought it's just the mace he stole

Igbo be your brother's keeper step down for omo agege, after all Biafra comes first. according to KANU, Delta are Biafran

Southsouth holds the chairmanship position of apc, but want to take deputy senate president. Haba nah we are brothers o

northvietnam:
People should be mindful of their character in the public... When he was stealing mess upandan, he never knew one day he will need people's support. Make him go and seat down

Sometimes certain situations make us more popular and works in our favour. Dont you think stealing that mace made Omo-Agege more popular and a more sellable candidate to the APC power brokers as a very loyal party member and Buhari fan. Though I'm not in support of such thuggery acts.

Until you shitheads would realize that having an autonomous geopolitical region which will ensure legitimate self determination, then you will keep fighting for crumbs such as this.
Not that I'm supporting the crook, Orji Uzor Kalu for the position. But imagine what these potbellied men are haggling over.
Urhobo begging Igbo to allow a slice of the cake fall on their plate.
Igbo begging Hausa, Yoruba begging Fulani, and the minority ethnic groups don't even know who to beg.
Until the south decide to stand up to the north and quit this useless politics that has made us the shithole of Africa, you guys will continue running around in circles. Fools!
