Engr. Udengs Eradiri, the former Governorship Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Bayelsa State, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), praising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the projects in his Agudiama/Ekpetiama community in Yenagoa Local Government Area.
Eradiri, who registered in Ward 10 Constituency 2, said that through the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), led by Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, President Tinubu provided his community with potable water, shore protection, solar lights, and a one-kilometre road.
He added that many Niger Delta communities had benefited from the NDDC’s light-up project and other interventions.
Eradiri also highlighted promises of additional projects, such as a remodeled secondary school and a quality lodge for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members.
He noted the peace and progress in the Niger Delta, crediting initiatives like the Tantita Security Services, supported by Tinubu’s administration, and recent legislative developments, including the signing of the Maritime University Bill and the establishment of the University of Technology and Environment in Ogoni.

The former Bayelsa Commissioner for Youths and Environment further acknowledged improvements in the construction of the East-West Road, which he believes received more attention under Tinubu’s government than prior administrations. Given these contributions, Eradiri expressed his decision to join APC and support President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He called on his supporters and regional stakeholders to collaborate with the President, thanking the APC members in Bayelsa for their warm reception and pledging to work towards strengthening the party in both the state and nationally.
His words: “In my community, we have a water project done by the APC government: shore protection being done by the APC government, solar light and one-kilometre road. The APC government has also promised to carry out other projects like corners’ lodge and renovation of our secondary school.
“The best thing to do to thank such leadership is to join them and work for the success of the party. For m,e President Tinubu is one man I have admired since I was young and this will provide me the opportunity to learn from him and work with him to ensure that he succeeds.
” In 2006 when we attended the PRONACO meetings in Lagos he was one man who believed in a restructured Nigeria. I supported the PRONACO Movement and partook in it. I think that this is the best time to work with him. The Tinubu government gave us the Head of Service, the Ministry of Petroleum and the NDDC. His government has ensured the light up of the Niger Delta which has reduced crime to its barest minimum.
” Tinubu government is behind the Tantita project that has seen many young people in the Niger engaged because of the pipeline surveillance that has ensured the growth in the production of oil and reduction of crime in the Niger Delta. There is no other way to say thank you than to join a government that is doing well.
“The government is talking about tax reforms that will go a long way to bring about seriousness in governance and curb laziness. It will bring innovation and creativity as states and local governments will begin to work harder and such will provide jobs for young people and engender growth and development.
“I see that the government has a lot to offer Nigeria and I won’t be an onlooker. I want to participate and contribute to it. I want to be part of those that participated in the revival and reorganisation of the country.”
