…Support Yakubu as running mate to PDP’s Ize-Iyamu
Uromi na-Agabazilo, a socio-cultural and non-partisan organisation
committed to the articulation and resolution of socio-cultural and
political issues affecting the wellbeing of Uromi sons and daughters, has
risen from a meeting in Uromi with a communiqué urging support by entire
Esan land for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket of
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Hon. John Yakubu.
The group, according to the two-page communiqué jointly signed by Chairman
of the meeting, Professor P.O. Onolemhemhen and conveners of the
meeting–Rt. Hon Friday Itulah, Bishop (Dr) Anthony Okosun, Clifford E.
Inegbedion, High Chief Enia Moses, William Oniha and Chief (Mrs)
Azeke–thanked Esan leaders for choosing one of their own, Hon. Yakubu, as
running mate to Ize-Iyamu of the PDP.
It urged all Uromi sons and daughters in particular and Esans in general
across Edo State to vote en-masse for the Ize-Iyamu/Yakubu governorship
ticket in the September 10 election.
The meeting, the communiqué said, thanked the conveners for their
“foresight in bringing Uromi sons and daughters, Uromi-based clubs and
associations to discuss a common issue for the security and wellbeing of
the people,” and urged that “a similar meeting of this nature be convened
whenever issues affecting the security and wellbeing of Uromi people
arise.”
According to the communiqué, the meeting resolved that “at all times,
Uromi people should stand behind their sons and daughters holding
positions of authority in all areas of human endeavour anywhere without
reservations.”
The meeting, the communiqué continued, “urged all sons and daughters of
Uromi kingdom at home and in the Diaspora to organise themselves into
groups and associations for the purpose of promoting, propagating and
defending Uromi common interest in particular and Esan (land) in general.”
