He stressed that, the constituents and the Urhobo nation in general deserved a better package in the scheme of things in the federation which according to him, could only be attracted through meaningful legislation at that level of government.
The multilingual journalist had this to say, “there is a blazing interest to serve my people and you will agree with me that, it is not possible to use one’s personal asset alone to meet such huge demand; hence, I felt compelled to launch into the appropriate quarters which is corridors of power through election in order to fulfill this vision for the constituents.

“Beside official legislation, i have made my personal and contacts with those who matter in the seat of power of the federal personal republic of Nigeria through my job as a foremost media practitioner in the villa. Permit me to say too that my connection in the villa goes beyond the villa but as far to the various ministries and parastatals at the federal levels.
By implication, I have the capacity to muster the extra force which may be difficult for some other persons to do. And with these connections, I can assure you of attracting more dividends of democracy to this constituency.
Responding, the Udu and Ughelli North PDP chairmen who spoke at their respective secretariats expressed confidence and satisfaction over the aspiration of the Daniel Idonor.
