The Chief Executive Officer of the Gabriel Sunano Foundation, Mr Gabriel Erhovwo Sunano, has endorsed Senator Ede Dafinone for re-election in 2027, describing his legislative experience, professional background and performance as compelling reasons for another term representing Delta Central Senatorial District.
Sunano, a philanthropist and political analyst, made the endorsement in a press statement on Wednesday, maintaining that Dafinone’s first-term performance and experience in the National Assembly distinguish him among previous representatives of the district.
He argued that the senator’s educational qualifications and professional exposure had equipped him with the capacity to contribute meaningfully to legislative debates, policy formulation and national development.
According to him, Dafinone’s disposition to public service, professional experience and understanding of the challenges confronting Delta Central make him deserving of another opportunity to represent the district.
“Unlike some politicians who have been accused of snatching the mace at the Senate, Dafinone is a refined gentleman whose professional experience and disposition to public service distinguish him.
“He deserves another opportunity to serve because he has acquired valuable experience that can be deployed in addressing the challenges confronting Delta Central,” Sunano said.
The foundation chief executive also commended the senator’s engagement with constituents, stressing that effective representation must extend beyond legislative activities to meaningful interaction with communities and advocacy for their interests.
He identified unemployment, infrastructure deficits and limited access to quality healthcare as some of the pressing challenges facing Delta Central, noting that sustained legislative intervention and strategic engagement with government institutions would be critical to addressing them.
Sunano further emphasised the importance of transparency, accountability and ethical leadership, insisting that elected representatives must remain responsive to the people who entrusted them with public office.
He maintained that continuity in representation could strengthen the pursuit of development opportunities for Delta Central, particularly where a serving lawmaker had acquired legislative experience and established relationships capable of advancing constituency interests.
The endorsement comes as political activities intensify across Delta Central ahead of the 2027 general elections, with stakeholders and political groups beginning to mobilise support for aspirants seeking elective positions.
