VOX POPULI ….….. VOX DEI
RESOLUTIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING OF OTUOKPOTI THIRD FORCE HELD ON THE 15TH OF JANUARY, 2023 AT OTUOKPOTI, HEADQUATERS OF OGBIA WARD 2
At an Executive Council meeting of Otuokpoti Third Force, the largest and most dominant political organization in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the following commendations and resolutions were made and reached:
COMMENDATIONS
1. Council observed that President Muhammadu Buhari through the instrumentality of the Leader of APC in Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and the Senator representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Senator Biobarakuma Degi, has attracted landmark development projects to Bayelsa State to expand the industrial and commercial frontiers of the state economy.
2. These include the Brass Fertilizer Project at Odioma, the LNG Project at Twon Brass, the 10 Megawatts Gas-Fired Independent Plant at Elebele, the Rungas LPG Composite Cylinder Manufacturing Plant at Polaku, the Industrial Park at Emeyal Ogbia, the Oloibiri Oil and Gas Museum, the 45,000 Litre Per Day L**e Oil blending plant at Gbaraun, the Dry Dock Shipyard in Brass, the Coastal Heavy Product Depot and the Local Content Towers to attract multinational oil companies into the state and expand the economic frontiers of Bayelsa State.
3. Council further appreciates President Mohammadu Buhari, the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, His Excellency, Chief Timipre Sylva, and Senator Biobarakumo Degi Eremioyo for the key roles they played in the appointment of Chief Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, as Managing Director/CEO of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). We are convinced of the capacity of new Managing Director, Chief Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, to right the historic wrongs and bloody resistance that led to the creation of the NDDC and provide a template for the sustainable development of the Niger Delta.
4. Council has carried out a thorough appraisal of the candidates of all the political parties in Bayelsa State for the forthcoming General Elections and observes that for the first time in the history of politics in Bayelsa State, Bayelsa State APC took their time to pick the most competent and suitable persons for the position of Senate, House of Representatives and Houses of Assembly in Bayelsa East Senatorial District.
RESOLUTIONS
Council therefore resolves as follows:
1. Politics is a game of compromise and barter. It is system of give and take, or put in mundane terms, an interplay of “you scratch my back, I scratch your back”. What the APC has given to Ogbia and the entire Bayelsa East can never be given by the PDP is spite of their elongated and suffocating stay in power over the years. The people of Bayelsa East can only reciprocate the kind gesture of APC by calling on our Ogbia brothers and sisters to get their PVC’s, protect their PVC’s and use it effectively to vote massively for APC because it is the only Party that understands the peculiar problems we are facing and have taken concrete steps to right the wrongs of yester years.
2. We call on all Ogbia people to vote for Alhaji Bola Tinubu for President, Sen. Biobarakumo Degi Eremioyo for Senate, Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Barr. Edi Orubo for Ogbia House of Representatives and Hon. Godknows Obein Owerre for House of Assembly, Ogbia Constituency 2.
3. In line with progressive thinking, Otuokpoti Third Force shall take advantage of its numerical strength, being the largest community in Ogbia, to mobilize the resources at its disposal and ensure that the right thing is done by voting for all APC Candidates in the forthcoming General Elections.
God bless Bayelsa State.
