Reflections On Senator Ede Dafinone’s Declaration For A Second Term Ahead Of The 2027 Delta Central senatorial Election

Admin

  By Dr. N.M. Darigho Odedede   There are political gatherings that are literally classified as referendums, and there are occasions when the theatrics of politics culminate into platforms for discourses, performance appraisals, symbolic remarks, and positive affirmations that shape the direction of a contest long before elections are held.   In my well-considered assessment, the massive turnout of supporters and APC stakeholders that honoured the declaration event of Senator Ede Dafinone’s second term bid in office was a clear phenomenon of such an unprecedented gathering.
