Uvwie legislative leadership removed as Oboro’s loyalists chase Baro’s men

Fresh political leadership crisis today, February 17 broke out at the Uvwie Local Government Council Secretariat in Effurun, headquarters of the Local Government in Delta State when 10 councilors purportedly loyal to the member representing Uvwie, Sapele and Okpe Federal Constituency at the National Assembly and former Chairman of Uvwie Local Government, Hon. Evelyn Oboro, at about12:30pm mobilized to the Council Legislative Arm with the help of security agencies to chase the other 10 of their colleagues, believed to be loyal to the sacked Uvwie Council Chairman, Hon. Henry Baro Minabonware and effect massive change in the House leadership.

Fresh Angle International gathered that the pro Hon. Oboro councilors, who are also loyal to the former Vice to Henry Baro Minabonware now substantive Chairman of the Council, Chief (Mrs.) Stella Dabonor, allegedly drove in with the Council Legislative bus, took over the mace and impeached the former leader, Ebimeiwe who is loyal to Hon. Minabonware and enthrone a new leader, Glory Otuedon.

The new House leader, Hon. Glory Otuedon, a male, is the councilor representing Ugbolokposo, the only Itsekiri ward in Uvwie Local Government Council Legislative Arm. A new Deputy leader, Timmy Ukwade was also installed, while the new Chief Whip is Tony Taire.

It would be recalled that when the Uvwie Council leadership crisis broke out several months ago, only five councilors were disloyal to the then Chairman, Hon. Minabonware, but the change of political leadership at the local government appears to have made the erstwhile Chairman, Hon. Minabonware lose more legislators in the Council Legislative Arm.
