He urged his opponent to go to the field with him and let them slug it out politically. 

"Stop saying, "You are the only Urhobo contesting the Primary election. My father and mother are Urhobos. You are not even from this area."

He handed down the warning at his Bendel Estate residence in DDP, Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area when the people of Ukpokiti Community presented him the award.

He pointed out that he was able to pay his monthly stipends of over a million naira, construction road projects amongst others. 

Opuoru said, "I went to Abuja for the convention. I have not been talking. I just do my politics. I don't talk about people until someone had the audacity to say he is the only Urhobo Candidate that is contesting. 

"I fear ooooo. I don't know I come from. Maybe am from Senegal. You can imagine that insult, audacity, the innuendos, the temerity but I decided that it is time for me speak.

According to him, "Am the great grand child of Omo-Ineh pointing out that he is from Okwabude, Okpe axis, Okere-Urhobo Kingdom and Agbarha-Warri Kingdom respectively. 

Opuoru pointed out that, "My mother is related to Uku family of Itsekiri Nation. I answer Ijaw Name, Opuoru.

He added that, Opuoru means, big juju" saying nobody can challenge that. 

He stressed that, "For Uvwie, na from Afieki we come from. Somebody come get heart dey talk say na him be Urhoho candidate for where I dey."

Opuoru said his opponent should blame him now that the people who supported him in his election have all left him.

"I sat down when he called one of my boys say the King talk say na him go win. You don't talk about things like that. You have insulted the monarch. Even if you waan do something secret, keep it secret. Don't go outside to say it to public people because you don't know what it might bring. 

"Your papa na from Ododegho. I be Omo-Ineh grand child related to Utien from Agbarha-Warri. 

"Let me send a clear message to Benson Obire. Stop blackmailing me. Go to the field let's battle. Let the winner take it."
