The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has called on Urhobo people at home and in the Diaspora to promote unity and cohesion at all times. Delivering a keynote address at the Urhobo Progress Union (UPaU) Ireland International Webinar to mark the Urhobo Day celebration on Sunday, Senator Omo-Agege lamented that politics had caused serious divisions within the Union in recent times. UPU is the umbrella body of all Urhobo people. The Delta Central lawmaker who also chairs the Senate Adhoc Committee on Constitution Review, stressed that the best way the Urhobo can defend her national interest in the context of multiple power blocs is to always stand firm and be committed to the goals of Urhobo.
