A former Bayelsa State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, has promised to implement his ‘New Deal’ manifesto when elected into the House of Representatives for Ogbia Federal Constituency in 2023.

He explained that the ‘New Deal’ manifesto is anchored on his pillars of the bond of unity, education, empowerment, special status for Ogbia, Oloibiri oil museum, a UNESCO heritage site, and effective communication.

Iworiso-Markson spoke on Thursday in Yenagoa when he presented his expression of interest and nomination forms to the people of Ogbia Kingdom to contest the 2023 House of Representatives election on the platform of the PDP.

Iworiso-Markson said his decision to procure the forms was borne out of his conviction to provide effective representation at the National Assembly by leveraging his experience, network, exposure and connections.

He described his manifesto as a well-thought-out strategic plan that encapsulates his vision to bring about a pragmatic approach and a paradigm shift in people’s representation.

He said the manifesto formed the basis of his aspiration for the National Assembly and that he would work with PDP leaders and stakeholders to fully achieve it.

Iworiso-Markson said: “Having picked the form, I decided to bring it back home to present to our leaders and stakeholders who are pivotal to my journey to the Green Chambers. It is another very significant day in my quest to offer myself to represent the Ogbia people.

He vowed to deploy his network and support base to ensure the reelection of the state governor, Senator Douye Diri, insisting that the governor deserved a second term.
