Following the unveiling ceremony of the Ethiope West Unite for Peace Cup (EWUFPC) which took place at the palace of the Ovie of Oghara HRM Noble Eshemitan, Uku Oghara N’ame, Orefe 111 on the 13th of April, 2022 Prince Kevwe has shed more light on the now highly anticipated EWUFPC.
He explained that the trophy tour which kicked of at the palace of the Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom, HRM Monday A. Obukowho Whiskey, Udurie 1of Idjerhe and the country home of the Otota of Mosogar Chief Ighoyota Amori was just a normal exercise to formally and officially bring the competition to the notice of the people of Ethiope West and Delta state as a whole.
Prince Kevwe explained that what we now know as Ethiope West Unite for Peace Cup was originally going to be called “Hon. Nelso Owoso Cup”, but that the Chairman in his humble style declined that honour and said the competition was for, and about the people of Ethiope West and the youths hence the title Ethiope West Unite for Peace Cup (EWUFPC).
Prince Kevwe added that, they as Local Organising Committee (L.O.C) have come this far due to the financial,moral and even spiritual support of the Chairman Hon. Nelson Owoso. He added that he originally met the Chairman about the football competition but the Chairman in his big ways of doing things turned the idea into a bigger dream.
He said Hon. Nelson Owoso has been the backbone that has brought this project to this point and added that this is just small compared to the many programmes Hon Owoso has lined up for the growth and development of Ethiope West LG.
Prince Kevwe then encouraged youths in the Local Government not just Idjerhe alone to take advantage of the kind of leadership Hon. Owoso is offering and approach him with any idea or initiative they have because Hon Owoso is very humble and welcoming and also very accessible. He added that not many people remember campaign promises after assuming office but that Hon. Owoso has proven that he is different.
Prince Kevwe went on to advise the youth to work with the Rt. Hon. Nelson Owoso in his quest to take Ethiope West to an enviable height.
The Prince also, went further to explain that the competition, “Ethiope West Unite for Peace Cup ” (EWUFPC) is being hosted by the LG Chairman in collaboration with Ododo Royal Foundation which was created by Prince Noble Otadaferua the first son of the late king of Idjerhe kingdom.
He said Prince Noble Otadaferua is S.A to the Governor on Community Development, and has been into charity long before getting into politics and the Ododo Royal Foundation was formed by him to help the less privilege and is done in Honour of the their late father Ododo.
He said Ododo was a football lover and this competition is partly to sustain his legacies too. He said he would not want to let the cat out of the bag but Prince Noble is already working with the LG Chairman on seeing how they can get international partnership for this, and other projects in the long run. That is the vision they both want to see come to light.
Prince Kevwe reassured that he is positive that this football competition l(EWUFPC) will no doubt bring about the needed Unity, love, peace and progress in the Local Government which is in line with the programme of the Governor of Delta state Sen. Dr, Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
He once again thanked the Traditional rulers in Ethiope West, the Executive Chairman Hon Nelson Owoso, Prince Noble Otadaferua S.A. to Governor on Community Development for their support, words of encouragement and also extended thanks and appreciation to his fellow L.O.C members Dr. Omonigho Ogbakpa, Comrade Aghoja Jude; Mr Teminor T. Stober, M C Low-Waist MC igbayo, Mr Kparobo, Comrade Jerry Ikanone and Dr Olise for their efforts so far in seeing that this dream is actualized.
