The immediate past Governorship Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Bayelsa State, Engr. Udengs Eradiri has joined the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is behind all the projects in his Agudiama/Ekpetiama community in Yenagoa Local Government Area.
Eradiri, who registered for the APC in Ward 10 Constituency 2, Yenagoa Local Government Area, said President Tinubu through the Dr Samuel Ogbuku-led Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, gave his community potable water, shore protection, solar lights and one-kilometre road.
He said besides his community, almost all the communities in the Niger Delta had benefitted from the light-up project and other interventionist programmes of the NDDC.
According to Eradiri, the Tinubu-led federal government through the NDDC had also promised to carry out other projects such as remodelling the secondary school and a quality lodge for members of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) in his community.
Eradiri, who was received by a crowd of residents and APC members in his ward said through the Tantita Security Services and the NDDC backed by Tinubu, the Niger Delta region had experienced peace and steady progress in its infrastructural development.
For instance, he said recently the President signed the Maritime University Bill into law and the bill establishing the University of Technology and Environment in Ogoni saying they would help to deepen the already existing peace in the region.
The former Commissioner for Youths and later Environment in Bayelsa further observed the tremendous progress in the ongoing construction of the East-West Road saying the road had witnessed better attention in Tinubu’s government through the Minister of Works, Dr. Dave Umahi, than in other past administrations.
He said with all the contributions of the President in his community and the Niger Delta through Tantita, the NDDC and the Ministry of Petroleum, it was only reasonable for him to join Tinubu and work with him in the APC to ensure the success of his Renewed Hope Agenda.
He insisted that President Tinubu meant well for the Niger Delta and the country and called on his teeming supporters and all stakeholders in the region to work with the President and commended all APC faithful in Bayelsa for warmly receiving him in the party and vowed to work with all the party stakeholders to reposition the APC in the state and the country.
His words: “In my community, we have a water project done by the APC government: shore protection being done by the APC government, solar light and one-kilometre road. The APC government has also promised to carry out other projects like corners’ lodge and renovation of our secondary school.
