Olorogun Moses TaigaThe National Publicity Secretary of the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU), Mr. Abel Oshevire, has berated former First Deputy President-General of the union, Chief Okotie Osiobe, for allegedly describing the UPU as an arm of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State.
Oshevire, who noted that Osiobe’s alleged criticism portended betrayal of trust, said Osiobe’s comments might have been borne out of ignorance, as UPU hitherto remains a socio-cultural group without bias to any political party even though it encourages sons and daughters of the Urhobo to belong to any party of their choice.
Besides, the UPU national publicity secretary, who spoke with journalists in Asaba yesterday, said that the entire Urhobo nation was prepared to grant pardon to former President-General of UPU, Chief Joe Omene, and others if he was prepared to humble himself and apologise to Urhobo monarchs.
