The Bayelsa Development Initiative (BDI) has appealed to the voters in the state to avoid voting incompetence politicians in the November 11 governorship election in the state.
The group, which hailed the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, urged them to cast their votes for the LP’s Governorship candidate, Udengs Eradiri.
BDI in a statement signed by its Secretary Michael-Sam Rodamini, said Obi was emphatic when he said with the wealth that had accrued to Bayelsa, the state had no business with poverty.
Rodamini recalled that Obi classified Eradiri among the wealth creators and advised the people to vote for “wealth creators and not wealth sharers.
“From 1999 till date, those who have been kneeling on the progress of Bayelsa and suffocating the state’s capacity to breathe the refreshing air of development are in both All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Most of the so-called political leaders in these two parties are wealth sharers according to Peter Obi. They have shared the wealth of this great state among themselves so much that there is nothing left to be shared again. They have shared the destinies of our children. They shared all the monies meant for healthcare, quality education and quality infrastructures.
“They are back again to continue in the business of profligacy and plundering of our commonwealth. We recalled that the LP Candidate, Udengs Eradiri, told the people on that day Obi visited that it was time we rose to challenge these people.
“Yes, we need to challenge them to protect the future of our children because all the care about is their comfort and that of their children. If we love this state this coming election provides an opportunity to rescue Bayelsa and revive the dreams of the state’s founding fathers.”
Rodamini insisted that Eradiri had proved himself to be the credible alternative needed by the people to rescue Bayelsa and put the state on the pathway of progress and development.
