UGHELLI – Tension mounts high in Delta Central APC as a prominent political leader and a chieftain of the defunct People Democratic Party (PDP), Olorogun Fred Majemite staged a walkout of U3 Forum’s meeting, a political pressure group representing Ughelli North, Ughelli South, and Udu Federal Constituency held at Chief John Oguma’s house.
It would be recalled that the political pressure group under the leadership of Olorogun John Oguma the Udu of Olomu kingdom held the Forum’s meeting on Saturday, May 24, 2025 at Oguma’s house in Ovwor, Ughelli South local government area, Delta State where a motion for a vote of confidence passed on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Sen. Ede Dafinone, and Rev. Francis Ejiroghene Waive.
The Rainbow Newspaper authoritatively reports that while the Executive Chairman of Ughelli North Local Government Area, Olorogun (Barr.) Jaro Egbo moved the motion for the vote of confidence and seconded by Hon. Adelabu Bojor in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Sen. Ede Dafinone, and Rev. Francis Ejiroghene Waive, Olorogun John Oguma amend the vote of confidence to endorsement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Reacting to the development, Olorogun Fred Majemite distanced himself and the rest of the good people of Delta Central Senatorial District from the purported endorsement motion moved by Olorogun John Oguma, saying it was the personal opinion of Olorogun John Oguma, not the general opinions of the entire Delta Central Senatorial District.
Earlier, in his welcome speech, the U3 chairman, Olorogun John Oguma, declared the unalloyed loyalty and support of the Forum for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State. His words, “We must return Tinubu to the Villa. That one is sealed,” “The same goes for our governor. He is doing very well. He’s the only one in our history that the 24 Urhobo kings came together and gave a chieftaincy title. That shows unity and respect.”
Speaking on Senator Dafinone, Oguma said, “We played politics with his father in the NPN. When his father was a Senator, I was a youth leader. Today, the son continues that legacy. His father did two tenures, and so should he.”
He added that so far, Senator Dafinone is doing a great job at the Senate; hence, he needs to go back to consolidate his achievements and attract more development to Urhobo Land.
He also praised Hon. Waive for his developmental strides: “For a long time, we sent people to the National Assembly and saw no impact. But today, we have a representative who brought a Federal Medical Centre to Udu and facilitated a Federal School of Nursing and a world-class Computer School. This is the kind of politics I believe in—human capital development before anything else.”
Oguma emphasized the forum’s collective resolve: “When I made that statement, no one challenged me. Instead, the support was overwhelming. We don’t play the politics of ‘I’—it’s always ‘we’. Let us respect one another. If it’s not your turn today, it could be yours tomorrow. We have one governor and one president. We must remain loyal and follow their leadership. Fighting them is like fighting God, who put them there.”
Senator Dafinone echoed this spirit of unity: “There is no more opposition in Delta. We are now one party, with one purpose. There are no victors and no vanquished—we are all winners.”
He praised Governor Oborevwori for unifying political forces. “Bringing the PDP bloc into the APC was visionary and unifying. Today, federal appointments go through the governor’s office. There is restored discipline and structure.”
On national challenges, he noted, “The past two years have been tough, but under President Tinubu, the economy is beginning to recover. The tough decisions taken are starting to yield fruit.”
He called on Deltans and Nigerians to continue to support the APC government led by President Bola Tinubu, noting that soon, the gains of the economic policies of this administration would take away the moment that some of the citizens had to endure.
Hon. Francis Waive was visibly moved by the endorsement. “When your people come around, pass a vote of confidence, and say you have the ticket going forward, man, I’m overwhelmed,” he said.
He pointed to the establishment of the Federal Medical Centre in Oleri, signed into law by President Tinubu, as a major achievement, saying, “We are seeing unity like never before. Governor Oborevwori has brought together political forces, and that’s what leadership looks like.”
