The group the duo is illustrious Urhobo sons who are patriotic and committed to see to the opening up of the area.

The statement explained: “We wish to states here that the Urhobo can go to war because of their patriotism so as to defend them.

“At this moment the Urhobos seems to have no direction, we must appreciate one another, queue behind them to move the Urhobo Nation forward.

“It is regrettable that in-fighting and pull-down syndrome amongst the Urhobo is not the political solution. At this moment of our time, we should learn from our past mistakes, take a deep breath on how to redeem the battered image that has brought the Urhobo down.”
