The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri, says the state needs selfless leadership, adding that he has the capacity to govern the state and provide better leadership if he is elected in the November 11 poll.
He told journalists in Yenagoa that he was driven by the passion to frontally address the socio-economic challenges facing the people of the state.
Udengs, a former Commissioner for Youth Development, said, “Bayelsa State is in comatose. It is no longer about the party but the survival of the state. When we talk about issues in Bayelsa State, I have seen the nakedness of neglect of the institutions that should reach out to the people and that is why I said until we take the leadership, we will not get things done.
“My beloved state of Bayelsa is in dire need of selfless leadership, and having examined my trajectory as a student activist, taxpayer, youth leader, commissioner, and public servant, I decided to offer myself (for service) instead of complaining.
“As a young man, I have the strength and capacity to do the job of governance of Bayelsa better, and I will dismantle the obstacles to the development of Bayelsa.
“I am driven by the passion to transform the state of Bayelsa and make life more meaningful for the people whose level of poverty is alarming and glaring due to the neglect of governance by the political class.”
