The Deputy President of the Senate in 9th Assembly, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has commiserated with the Urhobo nation and the people of Udu Kingdom over the passage of their traditionalruler, HRM Emmanuel Bethel Otete Delekpe, Owhorhu I, Esq.

Senator Omo-Agege in a statement by his Media Adviser, Mr Sunny Areh, described the late Ovie who died at 85 as a formidable builder under whose watch the kingdom experienced rapid development.

He said that HRM Owhorhu I, distinguished himself through his inventiveness and demonstrated that traditional rulers can be the pivot of development in modern times.

“The royal father superintended over the evolution of Udu into a major kingdom where its sons and daughters excelled and contributed to the development of the community. It takes wisdom, humility and eclectic management of human resources to be able to bring his people together under one common agenda.
