Ofehe Sunny

Sunny Oghale Ofehe, born on 1 February 1972 in Lagos, is a Nigeria-born Dutch environmental rights and human rights activist and political candidate whose work has focused on environmental degradation and human rights abuses in the oil-rich Niger Delta. He is the son of Chief Bernard Aghogho and Theresa Ofehe of Iyede in Isoko North, Delta State. He completed primary school at Ogelle Primary School, Ughelli (1983), secondary school at Unity School Agbarho (1988), and studied industrial chemistry at the University of Benin from 1991, graduating in 1995.

Following the annulment of the Moshood Abiola election, Ofehe became active in student-led civil demonstrations against military rule and in support of MKO Abiola's mandate. He fled Nigeria on 26 November 1995 and arrived in Amsterdam on 27 November 1995, where he sought political asylum, later settling in the Netherlands. He began an International/European Law B.Sc. program at The Hague University of Applied Sciences in 2016 but suspended it to participate in Delta State governorship politics, first as an APC aspirant in 2019 and later as the Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate in 2023, when he ran with Chalele Eloho and lost.
