The Senator representing Delta Central, Distinguished Senator Ede Dafinone, has joined family, friends, and well-wishers in celebrating His Royal Majesty, Ogurime-rime Ukori I, Michael Omeru, CON, the Ovie of Agbon Kingdom, on the joyous occasion of his 75th birthday.
In his tribute, Senator Dafinone described the monarch’s reign as one of dignity, progress, and deep devotion to his people. Since ascending the throne in February 2013, the Ovie, he noted, has built on the legacy of his predecessor, the late Chamberlain Orovwuje, Ogurime-rime I, and has led Agbon Kingdom into a renewed era of cultural pride and development.
The lawmaker praised the royal father’s exemplary leadership, which he said has fostered unity and growth not only in Agbon Kingdom but also across Urhobo land and Delta State.
“Your reign has brought immense blessings to our people. You remain a beacon of wisdom, a custodian of our cherished traditions, and a pillar of strength for the Urhobo nation,” Dafinone remarked.
He further commended the monarch’s commitment to youth development, community advancement, and peaceful coexistence, describing these as values that have greatly enriched the kingdom and strengthened the Delta Central Senatorial District.
“On behalf of the people of Delta Central, I celebrate this remarkable milestone of 75 years. I pray the Almighty grants you many more years of good health, divine wisdom, and strength to continue to guide your people and contribute to the progress of our senatorial district,” he added.
