Former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, at the weekend urged the Urhobo people to close ranks for the progress and development of the nation. Ibori, who was special guest of honour at the 2017 edition of Urhobo Day celebration organised by the UPU, stressed the need for unity and progress in Urhobo land saying the ethnic group had the best brains and natural resources to earn a respected place in the country. “The Urhobo cannot afford to be divided. I will be the first to accept that we made a terrible mistake to be fighting ourselves, the division we have today is totally unnecessary. The Urhobo has the force to move mountains in this country, but because of disunity we can not,” he said.
