The Labour Party candidate for the Bayelsa State governorship election, Udengs Eradiri, has expressed confidence that he would emerge victorious at the November 11, 2023 polls.
Eradiri, while briefing journalists on his development agenda for the state at his campaign secretariat in Yenagoa on Thursday, said he was sure of electoral victory as the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had failed to improve the standard of living of the people.
He lamented the widespread poverty in the state adding that businesses were leaving Yenagoa to other places due to alleged poor governance.
“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,” Eradiri said.
“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.
“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,” he added.
