The Urhobo Leadership Forum Abuja (ULFA) has congratulated the Senator representing Delta Central, Ede Dafinone, on his appointment as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, calling it a timely boost for equity and inclusion.
In a statement signed by ULFA President Olorogun (Dr) Peter Igho, MFR, the Forum described the appointment by Senate President Godswill Akpabio as a recognition of the first-term Senator’s rising profile and impact in Delta Central.
●“Most Sensitive Committee”
“We join many of your admirers in congratulating you on this appointment to this most sensitive committee of the Senate,” ULFA said, pledging “solidarity and unflinching support” to the lawmaker.
The Forum said the role is critical to ensuring “balance and equity in Federal Government appointments” and opening opportunities for “deserving young men and women.”
The Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs oversees compliance with Nigeria’s federal character principle — the constitutional mandate for equitable distribution of posts and resources across states and ethnic groups. Chairmanship of the committee places the Delta Central Senator at the centre of debates on appointments, federal jobs, and inter-governmental relations.
ULFA said the appointment “has come very timely to reinforce your reckoning in the Senate” and noted that the Senator’s activities have “impacted very positively on the lives of our people” in Delta Central.
The Forum wished the Senator a successful tenure as he assumes leadership of the committee.
The Senate President announced committee chairs earlier this week as part of the 10th National Assembly’s legislative setup.
