Renowned Niger Delta activist and APC Stalwart, Chief Ayirimi Emami who addressed a mammoth  crowd at Ugbori Town Hall, emphasized on the need for people of Warri South Constituency 1 to vote for Stanley Emiko, noting that “Itsekiri Nation ought to have reasonable voice at the National level and not limited to Asaba”.

According to Chief Emami, the victory of Prince Emiko in the forthcoming poll will underscore the support Itsekiris have for the APC led Federal Government and subsequently attract the much needed development to Warri Kingdom.
