The group according to him will visit Urhobo traditional rulers and the leadership of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) for proper briefing before it will kick start moves for the actualisation of the Delta Central Governorship come 2023.

For his part, former Minister of Information, Prof. Sam Oyovbaire, urged members of the group to continue to appeal to political heavyweights in other senatorial districts to see reasons with DC-23 on why the next governor should come from Delta Central.
