Immediate past governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying President Bola Tinubuwas behind all the projects in his Agudiama/Ekpetiama community, Yenagoa Local Government Area.

Eradiri, who registered for the APC in Ward 10 Constituency 2, Yenagoa Local Government Area, said 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.

Aside from his community, he said almost all the communities in the Niger Delta had benefitted from the light-up project and other interventionist programmes of the NDDC.

He said the Tinubu government, through the NDDC, had also promised to carry out other projects such as remodeling of 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 the president recently 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.

He said gradually and steadily, President Tinubu was addressing the injustices and marginalisation suffered by the region over the years.

Eradiri added further that Tinubu’s government had given Bayelsa the Head of Service, Ministry of Petroleum and the Managing Director of the NDDC, and that through the Ministry of Petroleum led by Minister Heineken Lokpobiri, there had been consistent increase in oil production.
