Special Adviser to Governor Sheriff Francis Oborevwori on Environment and Deputy Chairman of the Warri South APC Campaign Council, Hon. Matthew Poko Opuoru, has declared that Okere Urhobo Kingdom cannot accept the perceived injustice done to it by INEC in the creation of wards in Warri South Local Government Area. 

He also urged the youths of the kingdom to unite and deliver the All Progressives Congress (APC) 5/5 in the forthcoming election.

Hon. Opuoru made the declaration on Monday November 9, during a meeting with the Okere Urhobo Development Movement at the youth body's secretariat in Otor Orere Okumagba, Okere Urhobo Kingdom.

*"Okere Urhobo Cannot Accept This Injustice"*

Hon. Opuoru called strongly for more wards for Okere Urhobo Kingdom. He pointed out that on the INEC portal, Okumagba 2 (Ward 12), which has 49 polling units, was made just one ward, while INEC created wards from as few as 16 units in other areas.

"Okere Urhobo cannot accept this injustice," he declared, insisting that the kingdom must be given its fair share of wards.

*Solidarity With the Youths*

The meeting was also aimed at engaging the youths on the need to support the APC 5/5. The Youth Chairman, Mr. Eburu Emuaghogo, and the entire executive council of the movement were in attendance.

Hon. Opuoru expressed solidarity with the youths and commended the Youth Chairman for his leadership, saying he had "done exceedingly well." He urged them to come together as one and remain united, noting that an APC victory would attract more dividends of democracy to the kingdom.

He reaffirmed his loyalty to the traditional institution, stating that the Oruseun of Okere Urhobo is the only king of the kingdom, and that all sons and daughters of the kingdom are his children and subjects who submit to his headship.

He charged the youths to remain vigilant and to deliver the APC at all levels in the election.

Responding, the Youth Chairman, Mr. Eburu Emuaghogo, thanked Hon. Opuoru for honouring the movement with his visit and for his continued guidance of Okere Urhobo Kingdom. 

He described him as a major supporter of youths in the kingdom and assured him that the entire youth body would vote APC 5/5 and throw its weight behind the party at all levels.

The meeting ended on a note of unity, with the youths reaffirming their commitment to the party ahead of the election.

Hon. Opuoru, was accompanied to the meeting by Olorogun Venture, Olorogun Ochuko Maduku, Mr. Godstime Omughele, Mr. Moses Amoda, Mr. Godspower Ogoru and Mr. Elvis Idjerheki.
