THERE’S NO COMPARISON BETWEEN AMORI AND ALIEN.

By Godwin Obire

……..The political conspiracy to bring an alien/foreigner to occupy our senatorial position is dead on arrival, now is time for progressive vision in Delta central senatorial district.

Who is Ede Dafinone? What is his contribution to the development and growth of Urhobo nation? Who are the people you can point out that Ede has impacted & empowered in urhobo nation? There’s no comparison between Chief Ighoyota Amori and anyone aspiring for the delta senatorial district election is an insult for you to imagine & conclude within yourself that a lizard is a crocodile because you are not inform so I forgive your ignorance.

Chief Ighoyota Amori is a man that commands great attention & bestowed by God with an enormous amount of charisma, coupled with intellect and compassion.

Otota of Mosogar Kingdom in Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria, He is also Orhovweguigwe of Ughelli Kingdom, Ataneru of Abraka Kingdom, Otedje of Agbarha-Warri Kingdom, and Adjerese of Okpe Kingdom. In other words, he is a quintuple (5 times) Chief in five Kingdoms, a proof of his cross kingdom recognition.

An undeniable political Icon, Chief Amori has been a part of Delta State government since its creation and has aided in the weaving of the political tapestry of the state, including being a Commissioner of Education (1999-2003) and Commissioner in the Ministry of Water Resources & Development (2006-2007).

He has also been Delta State Deputy Chairman of People Democratic Party (PDP) (2008-2010) and Delta State Coordinator of Yar’adua/Goodluck Presidential Campaign (2007).

Former Senior Political Adviser to the Former Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON.

He is currently the senatorial candidate of the people’s democratic party (PDP) for Delta central senatorial district and the incoming senator come 2023. Nobody go against Ovie Omo Agege is aware of this fact.

Additionally, Chief Amori is the former National Chairman of the defunct Urhobo Political Congress (UPC) Worldwide, a political pressure group aimed at ensuring that the 5th largest ethnic group in Nigeria and the largest political voting bloc in Delta State are not taken for granted.

He is also a very active member of Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU) Worldwide, an umbrella cultural group of all Urhobos that has been in existence for over 100 years.

There is a difference between a politician and a Statesman. A statesman is defined as an important and experienced politician who is widely known and respected. Not all politicians are statesmen.

Chief Amori embodies the difference based on his importance in Delta State, his popularity, his remarkable experience and the respect he commands in the community at large.

Chief Amori’s influence goes beyond the boundaries of Delta State and beyond the shores of Nigeria.

Chief Amori has received numerous awards and commendations. “In recognition of his relentless assistance to students, numerous philanthropic activities and Youth empowerment” he received “Service Pa Excellence” award from National Association of Delta State Students (NADELSSTU), Federal Polytechnic, Oko-Chapter, Anambra State & many more.

With so many great accomplishments, it is easy to conclude that he was born privileged. However, that is not the case. He was born on August 8, 1952 at Mosogar and attended Evbonogor Primary School in Mosogar.

In an interview, he stated one of the obstacles he had to overcome early in life. Apparently, as a child growing up, there was no easy access to the City (Sapele). There were no bridges. Therefore, after he completed Primary School in 1963, he had to wait for 3yrs until the Garmon Bridge was completed.

It was then he was able to sit for the entrance exam in 1966 and entered Academy Grammar School in Sapele in 1967. That experience, among others, contributed to developing his strengths, which include perseverance and hard work. Chief Amori is an intellectual and scientist who has a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Geology from University of Benin in 1979 and M.Sc. in Geophysics from University of Ibadan two years later. Chief Amori is a Fellow of the Nigeria Association of Hydro-geologist.

Chief Amori is an astute businessperson that has piloted his company, Amodril (Nig.) Limited to become a very successful indigenous drilling and contracting company.

His personal philosophy is captured as follows: “To champion the cause of all Urhobos, Deltans and Nigerians.” He has continued to champion many causes and help elevate people.

Clearly, the Urhobos, Deltans and Nigeria as a whole are lucky to have such a great and seasoned statesman. If the geophysicist turned political icon had stayed in the laboratory, we would all have lost.

Wetin? Slippers get size. No Comparison.
