Okumagba made this known while addressing newsmen after a meeting of the APC.

He expressed optimism that the Urhobos in particular and Delta state had a bright economic and political future under the administration of President Buhari, even as he called on the Urhobos and indeed Nigerians to support President Buhari and the APC.

Assuring that the country would come out of the present economic recession stronger, he said: “Nigeria would have been worse off if not for the emergence President Buhari. You would agree with me that the word ‘Buhari’ is synonymous with discipline and accountability. We should be patient a little bit and in no distant time, we shall enjoy the benefits of the recession."

On why he left Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for APC, Okumagba said: “I just want to key into President Buhari’s philosophy of change which has been paying off. Joining the progressives will benefit me and the Urhobos of Warri politically. With the likes of the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun who is maternally from Warri Urhobo, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Chief Great Ogboru and Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor it will be wise for the Urhobos to support President Buhari and APC in 2019."

While urging the Urhobos of Warri to always be proud of Chief Oyegun as one of their own, he said “there is no division in APC. We are waxing stronger hence they are peddling the unfounded rumor of disunity in APC.”

Meanwhile, the federal government has started disbursing the N5000 stipend which was promised to poor Nigerians by President Muhammadu Buhari.

One million most vulnerable Nigerians will be rewarded with a N5,000 monthly stipend through the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) of its Social Investment Programmes (SIP).
