AZIZA: Urhobo group suspends protest over zoning of DELSU’s VC

UGHELLI— COALITION of Urhobo Youth Organisation, CUYO, has suspended its planned protest, earlier scheduled for Friday, to Government House, Asaba, against the alleged move to zone the position of the Vice Chancellor of the Delta State University, Abraka to Delta South senatorial district.

Addressing newsmen in Ughelli yesterday, spokesman of the group, Mr. Stephen Ohwokirerhuo, said the suspension of the protest was to enable members observe the one week mourning declared by the leadership of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, in honour of the departed President General of the Union, General Patrick Aziza (rtd).

He explained that the planned protest was aimed at appealing to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan to prevail on the Governing Council of the institution to follow due process in the selection process of the university’s VC.
Meanwhile, President of Ukwuani Foundation Union, UFU, Chief Joseph Olise and the entire Ukwuani nation, Delta State, have commiserated with UPU on the death of Aziza.

Chief Olise described the late Aziza as a distinguished military officer, an administrator and a community leader.
The union noted that during his time as the President of UPU, he worked closely with other ethnic nationalities in Delta State, including Ukwuani, to promote peace.
