The Director-General, World Peace and Unity Organization, International, Amb (Dr) David Oke Eke Solomon, has lamented what he described as “a worrisome trend wherein any Urhobo indigene who is not politically witch-hunting and sponsoring groups to discredit the good deeds of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Deputy Senate President, is considered as an enemy of progress, adding that such people should have a change of heart and join the progressive to uplift the Urhobo nation.”

Solomon, who is also the President-General, National Democratic Liberation Task Force, an organisation that pursues true democratic process, stressed that Sen. Omo-Agege’s giant strides will continue to wax stronger.

Meanwhile, in a piece titled ‘The Urhobo Nation and Sen Omo-Agege’, Amb. Solomon, who was the vice presidential candidate of the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) in the last presidential election, noted that the focused and dedicated lifestyle of Omo-Agege in pursuance of national transformation cannot be quantified, stressing however the need for better consolidation from his people.

He wondered “why some people will continue to sponsor false claims against one of the most enviable and workable Senators from the southern part of Nigeria, even to approaching a Court for his removal,” adding: “This alone is devilish and should be condemned by men of goodwill.”

Said he: “As a democrat in spirit and promoter of a progressive governance, l dare to say that l have been reading and following events of one of Nigerian brightest senators, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, from Delta State, who has continued to perform well in national assignment. He has won the heart of many. I warmly congratulate him on his recent victory in a Federal High Court, where he defeated again, enemy of progress, and their sponsors.

“Ordinarily, they ought to have surrendered, but resorted to trial and error. I, therefore, wish to state clearly that the Senator should remain focused and committed to serving Nigerian people.”

Amb. Solomon, who is also the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Trans-World Group of Companies, threw his support behind the Delta-born lawmaker, noting that Nigeria needs a strong foundation and men of courage like him to lead.

“It is my wish that l support your political movement and continue to follow political events in the country as it unfold,” he said.

Also commenting on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, he noted that for the country to progress, “all must collectively support the President and see the country’s challenge as part of life.” He reiterated that Nigeria will certainly surmount her problems, while applauding “Buhari’s transparency and efforts to reposition the lost glory of Nigeria, especially the fight against corruption.”

“I admonish Nigerians to keyed into the transformational agenda of President Buhari, as he means well for this country, and so, should not been seen as the problem of this country. We all should rally round him for the growth of this great nation. The idea of disunity and secession should never come to mind by any group.

“On security, we must commend the resilience of our security chiefs in the fight against insurgency, and so, mounting pressure on the President to remove them at this critical time of security challenges is not ideal but the Security strategies should be restructured for better operation,” he said.
