The South-South Zonal Organising Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Dr Blessing Agbomhere has enjoined Niger Delta to support President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda.
The party chieftain said this while reacting to the re-appointment of Dr Samuel Ogbuku as the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission in Abuja on Thursday.
He noted that the progress of the region would translate to the progress of the entire nation.
The party’s chieftain urged leaders, ministers and stakeholders of the South-South region to back Tinubu’s aspiration for Niger Delta and Nigeria, according to the Punch.
He said, “I encourage them (Niger Delta indigenes) to implement the Renewed Hope agenda of the Tinubu administration by working assiduously to ensure stability and development in the Niger Delta region and Nigeria in general. The progress and development in the Niger Delta will ensure the overall development of the entire Nigeria as the nation’s oil resources will be safe.”
Agbomrere opined that the appointment of Ogbuku was a reward for his vision, dedication and fervent commitment to transforming the Niger Delta region.
“The unique feature of the leadership of Dr Ogbuku is his commitment to transparency, accountability and zero tolerance for corruption, being attributes that are greatly needed in the bid to repackage the Commission and restore the confidence of Nigerians on the ability of the Commission to carry out its core mandate,” he added.
