The lawmaker representing Delta Central at the National Assembly, Senator Ede Dafinone, on Sunday, declared his interest to contest the 2027 general election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dafinone, who reeled out his achievements at the Senate on his first term, declared that he will serve the people of Delta Central with a renewed vigour if elected in 2027.
The declaration ceremony, which held at the popular Oharisi Primary School in Ughelli, had in attendance leaders of the party from eight local government areas of Delta Central.
The event, which had in attendance Delta Central APC leaders, including founding leader of Delta State APC, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, Senator Ighoyota Amori, Olorogun John Oguma, Hon. Halims Agoda, Prof. Samuel Ibodje, South-South APC Chairman, Prince Koyoyo Uhrorho and eight LGA party chairmen, endorsed the Delta Central lawmaker.
Addressing the mammoth crowd party faithful, Senator Dafinone vowed to consolidate on ongoing development and expand economic opportunities across the district.
The lawmaker said his decision followed “deep reflection and extensive consultation” with constituents and party hierarchy.
Dafinone, who described himself as “a proud son of the Urhobo nation,” expressed gratitude to the people for the mandate given to him over the past three years, noting that his stewardship had been anchored on accountability, measurable results and people-centred representation.
He said, “Leadership is not a badge of rank, but a burden of service. My approach has always been clear: engage our people, do the work, and deliver results that are real and measurable.”
The senator traced his values to the influence of his late father, David Omueya Dafinone, adding that his professional background as a chartered accountant shaped his methodical and results-driven approach to governance.
Highlighting his scorecard, Dafinone said his office had facilitated key infrastructure and social intervention projects, including advocacy for the revitalisation of the Sapele Seaport, the proposed extension of the Ujevwu-Itakpe railway line to Abuja, and interventions on the Effurun-Sapele-Benin Road.
