The President was earlier at Oghara where he inaugurated the Delta University Teaching Hospital and the headquarters of Nigerian Navy Logistics. “My dear brothers and sisters, I am eager to correct the defect in the electoral process as we are all familiar with it,’’ Jonathan said at the reception.
“I don’t need to over labour you about that because the government is totally committed to a clean electoral process.’’
He commended the Delta government for its efforts in infrastructure development, and pledged the Federal Government’s commitment to the development of the entire Niger Delta region.
“Let me assure you that I am irrevocably committed to the development of the Niger Delta. We must develop the region to restore confidence and hope among our people and children.
“The Niger Delta master plan for development is on course and we will assist the NDDC and all the state governments to key in,’’ he said.
He stressed that the Nigerian Navy Logistics Command located in the state was critical to the realisation of the master plan, stressing that security of Delta and its water ways was important to the nation.
“This explains why government continues to invest in the modernisation of the Armed Forces and the regular updating of the weaponry.’ (NAN)
