THE POLITICAL STANDPOINT OF APC GRASSROOT MOBILIZATION SAGBAMA/ EKEREMOR ON THE FORTHCOMING BAYELSA WEST SENATORIAL BYE ELECTION

THE POLITICAL STANDPOINT OF APC GRASSROOT MOBILIZATION SAGBAMA/ EKEREMOR ON THE FORTHCOMING BAYELSA WEST SENATORIAL BYE ELECTION


The Chairman of APC GRASSROOT MOBILIZATION SAGBAMA/ EKEREMOR, Comrade EBIDE BROWN , after due consultation of all the members across the wards in Bayelsa West Senatorial district has come up with the notion that no politician in EKEREMOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA should nurse the ambition of contesting the senatorial bye election.

The group maintained that the vacant seat left by SENATOR LAWRENCE EWHRUDJAKPOR the current deputy governor of Bayelsa State still belongs to SAGBAMA.

 There is an amicable political arrangement and understanding between SAGBAMA and EKEREMOR, truncation of this understanding is detrimental to the political history of the two Local Government Areas.

Below is the political history of representation with regards to the senate from the inception of democracy in 1999:
* Senator Emmanuel Tupele-ebi Diffa :1999-2003. ( SAGBAMA)
* Senator John Kojo Brambaifa: 2003-2007( SAGBAMA)
* Senator Heineken Lokpobiri : 2007-2015 ( EKEREMOR)
* Senator Foster Ogola : 2015-2019 ( SAGBAMA)
* Senator Lawrence EWHRUDJAKPOR : 2019- February, 2020( SAGBAMA).

The legislature is a cardinal institution of governance in a democracy. No one wants a senator that will be submerged in the national assembly. The APC GRASSROOT MOBILIZATION SAGBAMA/ EKEREMOR believes that it takes something special to be a Senator that will represent a Federal constituency; there are standards and qualities that make for distinction in the senate. A good Senator must be eloquent and can supply the oratorical gloss to orchestrate points of significance during floor debates and must be able to excel at protecting the interest of the state and senatorial district of origin. The issue of restructuring and resource control are of great importance to the Ijaw nation now.

Beyond party lines, the former governor of Bayelsa State,  Honourable Seriake Dickson has the aforementioned qualities and capacity for effective and qualitative representation. Being a former member of the house of Representatives from 2007- 2012, the ex-governor will be a high ranking member when elected to represent Bayelsa west senatorial district.

Honourable Seriake Dickson has the energy, eloquence, wit, intelligence and influence to bring development to the people of SAGBAMA AND EKEREMOR as he did when he was governor in the construction of SAGBAMA- EKEREMOR road which is accessible for carrying of essential commodities in the lockdown due to the global pandemic. The ex- governor has experience and capacity to speak for the Ijaw nation at large in the Senate.

In conclusion, the aforementioned non governmental organization under the chairmanship of Comrade EBIDE BROWN is unflaggingly supporting Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson's senatorial bid. The body is calling on all political leaders across party lines to put their weights behind the ex- governor for effective and qualitative representation and legislation, convertible to tangible development.

Signed:
COMRADE EBIDE BROWN
CHAIRMAN APC GRASSROOT MOBILIZATION SAGBAMA AND EKEREMOR.

By Willie Etim When the idea was first muted, a number of cynics dismissed it, typical of naysayers in our society.  They thought that all the effort will end in futility. The resilience of Chief Samuel Ogbuku, (PhD), Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), who nurtured the birth of the Niger Delta Chambers of Industry, Trade, Mines and Agriculture (NDCCITMA), came to bear when all other such chambers in the region put up a resistance against the registration of NDCCITMA, a battle that lasted over nine months. As the initiator and benefactor of the NDCCITMA, the management of the NDDC, established a management committee for the chambers to midwife it to solid take off point.
