Udengs Eradiri, the flagbearer for the Labour Party in the upcoming governorship race in Bayelsa State, has boasted about winning the November 11 gubernatorial election.
On Thursday, the former youth commissioner and head of the Ijaw Youth Council addressed reporters at his campaign secretariat in Yenagoa, expressing confidence that he will overcome his opponents from other parties.
According to Eradiri, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has already established the conditions for voters to select his candidacy as an option for a better Bayelsa.

He stated that poverty was rampant in the state and that businesses were fleeing Yenagoa owing to alleged poor governance.
Eradiri claimed that ‘People, Education, Agriculture, and Power’ would be the cornerstones of his development plan. He claimed to have the capacity and competence to govern and lead the state’s development, citing his experience as an Ijaw youth leader and in public service, most recently as a special assistant on youth and sports under the immediate-past interim management of the Niger Delta Development Commission.
He went on to say that his vision and development blueprint for the state were the emancipation that the people had been longing for, and that he had been contributing to the state’s development as an active private-sector player, labor employer, and taxpayer.
The Labour Party governorship candidate who hails from Bayelsa Central as the second term-seeking governor Douye Diri of the PDP, said, “I believe that as a young man who has gone through the process of learning, it is time I shouldn’t be complaining but take action.

“My PEAP (People, Education, Agriculture and Power) agenda will be propagated around every structure of leadership. We are going to run a pyramid system of government in Bayelsa State where local governments and communities understand the PEAP agenda.
“And let me tell you, we are going to win this election. We are going to win this election because the poverty in Bayelsa is naked for everybody to see.
“I don’t have the money they have. In any case, I’m not even afraid of the money, it’s my money, our money that they are bringing. It’s your schools, it’s your economy, it’s your agriculture they are going to be bringing. They are gathering it to come and buy people for four hours.

“If the people say they don’t want me, I’m not desperate to be governor. I will go and face my work. But young people must get up, it is you that are graduating and there is no job, it is our mothers that have nothing to do anymore, and businesses are leaving the state because it’s no longer conducive for them to stay. This is the liberation that Bayelsans have been waiting for.”
