“Waripamowei Dudafa Still Relevant To Bayelsa State” – Group


As the much expected Governorship election in Bayelsa State approaches, the Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation a socio political organization in the Niger Delta region has described Dr. Waripamowei Dudafa a former Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Matters to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as highly relevant to Bayelsa State.
The group made this known in a press statement it issued out to herald its RENAISSANCE WEEK taking place in Port Harcourt the Rivers State capital. The group said while the various parties in the coming election gears up for the contest, they should realize that political peace is paramount in the stability of the state and everything must be done to ensure that the state does not erupt into violence as a result of the personal ambitions.
The group said its RENAISSANCE WEEK will be used to celebrate Niger Delta people who have impacted on the region and also to Lunch its empowerment initiative to better the lots of the youths of the region.
On the seeming animosity against the former SSA to the ex-President from some quarters, the group blamed the current governor of the state of not being mature enough to manage the opposition to his reelection by some prominent leaders of thought in the state especially from the likes of Dr. Dudafa who they described as a patriot. The group said as afar as the people of Bayelsa are concerned, Dudafa in his relatively young age has achieved what a lot of people have not achieved in politics and has subsequently used his position to better the lots of a lot of people not only from Bayelsa but Niger Delta region inclusive. “As much as we are concerned, the positive impact of Dr. Waripamowei Dudafa in Bayelsa politics cannot and will not be wished away by sentiments of power play. He remains a respected figure in the state and must be given the best regard he deserves not minding his position on Bayelsa politics today” The statement stressed.
The statement signed by the Director of publicity of the organization and distributed to members of the press, said it is imperative that the likes of Dudafa be accorded the regard they deserve not minding political interests or inclination. NDRO said it will continue to pursue peace as a panacea to underdevelopment rocking Bayelsa State and the Niger Delta region stressing that without such, nothing can be achieved or the progress made so far cannot be sustained.

It urged the people of Bayelsa State to vote their conscience in the coming election and not allow themselves to be deceived by myopic sentiments.
