The United Bayelsa East Senatorial District Forum and other stakeholders have urged Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo to re-contest for the senatorial seat.
The forum on Saturday also passed a vote of confidence on him for effectively representing the district through people-oriented motions/bills and evenly distributed developmental projects that directly impact positively on the constituents
- Senator tasks colleagues on grassroots development
- Why we can’t declare Degi-Eremienyo’s seat vacant — Senate
A 16-point communique on the call was signed by 14 members including Engr. Numonoipre Wills, Dr Tonye Okio and High Chief (Rtd Major) Inikio Sele-Dede, representing the three local government areas of Ogbia, Nembe and Brass, that make up the senatorial district.
They said the decision for calling on the Senator to re-contest is not against the zoning spirit but to ensure the senatorial district produces ranking member in the 10th senate to hold key positions and attract more developments to the district by Grace of God.
“The arrangement replaces the previous single term zoning and after Degi’s second term, Ogbia takes over for her two terms and then Brass to ensure fairness,” they said.
They said that communique was done with a clear conscience and devoid of partisan political undertones, believing that it is in the best interest of the Bayelsa East Senatorial District.
