Sanco Ese Darlington who is also the President of Urhobo Development and Unity Forum (UDUF) wondered if the present leaders of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) and leaders of other Prominent Urhobo Socio, Cultural and Political Groups are not bothered about what legacy they he intend to be remembered for. He stated that Mukoro Mowoe will be embarrassed and will turn it’s grave to see that the almighty Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) which he helped to birth is no longer alive to it’s duty of unifying Urhobo Sons and Daughters and are now partisan and keeping quiet in complicit silence as it’s children fight a macabre Political War to the consternation of other Ethnic Nations who looked up to Urhobo Nation as big brothers.
Comrade Sanco Ese Darlington called on Urhobo Nation Leaders to puts it’s house in order or risk losing the confidence of the younger generation of Urhobo Sons and Daughters and warned that the Urhobo Progress Union must refrain from endorsing one Son against another in Political contest but to embrace all regardless of Political Party be it PDP, APC, APGA, SDP, LP or any other.

He called on the DC- 23 Group to as a matter of urgency do what is needful and help stop the needless political war that has worried other Ethnic Nation about the divisiveness in Urhobo Nation.
