UCF noted that the elevation is not only a personal milestone for the lawmaker but also “a proud moment for the Urhobo nation and Delta Central Senatorial District.”
The forum expressed optimism that under Dafinone’s leadership, the committee would deepen intergovernmental collaboration and ensure transparent and inclusive implementation of the Federal Character principle.
It added that such efforts are critical to strengthening national unity and achieving sustainable development.
Reaffirming its backing, UCF pledged continued support to the senator as he assumes the role, while wishing him “divine wisdom, strength and success” in the discharge of his duties.
