According to him, ”Your CV is very intimidating, I have no doubt in my mind that God’s willing when you are in the Senate, there is no way that you will be pushed aside, I also know that your father was a senator, and he was one of the many respected senators of his time. It is the prayer of the father for their son to step into their shoes, I am very sure that your father’s project is working for you and that you are going to step into his shoes appropriately”

“You have come for our prayers and blessings that is what we will give to you because this is your home”.

Speaking also, the founding leader of APC in Delta State, Olorogun Otega Emerhor has said, Chief Ede Dafinone has the capacity, competence and technicality ability to represent the Delta Central at the upper chamber of the Nigerian’s National Assembly.

Emerhor who stated this when Chief Ede Dafinone visited him in his country at Evwreni, noted that he believe in the person of Chief Ede as someone who can represent the interest of the Urhobo nation without being selfish.

He said, he has been supporting the party above personal interest and called on all to give their support to Chief Ede Dafinone as he has the wherewithal to compete with the opposition party favourably without stress.

The senatorial hopeful, Chief Ede Dafinone had earlier disclosed that visited the palace and Olorogun Otega Emerhor to seek their prayers, blessings and advice in order for him to succeed as the senator to represent the people of Delta Central Senatorial District.

While stressing the need to have a qualified person to take over from the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, Dafinone said he was contesting the position to continue from where the senator had stopped, noting that if given the support to be a senator in 2023, he will make Urhobo proud.

“I am the best person qualified to be the Delta Central Senator because I have the qualification, the experience and I am not a newcomer in the game of politics, Delta Central is endowed and I promise, if you push me forward, I will move it from potential to prosperity,” he said.

He further described Olorogun O’tega Emerhor as a major stakeholder and a founding father of the APC in Delta State, hence he is beginning his consultation with him apart from first going to inform his home monarch, the Orodje of Okpe Kingdom.

He further notes that he holds Oloroun Emerhor in very high esteem and requires his support to become the senator representing the Urhobo people.
