Posted to the web recently Prominent member of the Agbarha Warri Leaders of Thought, Dr. Emmanuel Urhobo has called on the leadership of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, led by Chief Felix Ibru to immediately wade into the land ownership tussle between the two Urhobo kingdoms of Udu and Uvwie over Enerhen town. Dr. Urhobo, a Warri based legal luminary said it is disgraceful for two Urhobo Kingdoms to tear themselves apart over the ownership of Enerhen land in the presence of UPU just as three Udu youths were injured last week by youths suspected to come from Uvwie.
The Urhobo leader made this statement yesterday in a press briefing, saying the main objective of the UPU is to promote peace and unity among the Urhobo nation, wondering over loud silence of the body since the crisis between both kingdoms started during the Ibori administration. According to him, the UPU would be failing in its duties if the crisis escalates as it would worsen the state of the Urhobo nation politically and economically just as he charged both parties to exercise restraints in the interest of the larger Urhobo nation in particular and Delta State in general. |
