Uduaghan, whose forms were quietly bought on October 17 by some of his
political associates in G3 at the National Secretariat of the PDP, Wadata
House, Abuja, expressed his deep appreciation to all PDP faithful and Deltans
for their outpouring of love and support and promised quality representation at
the Red Chambers.
In
his words, “History is in the making and I have to heed the calls of my people
who have severally urged me to go to the Senate after my tenure as Governor of
Delta State. I will not disappoint them. I will, by the grace of God give my
senatorial zone quality representation. I also want to appreciate President
Goodluck Jonathan and assure him that I will put all my National and
International reach at his disposal.
Meanwhile,
the foremost political platform in the senatorial district, the G3, comprising
Isoko, Ijaw and Itsekiri, has fully backed Dr. Uduaghan’s senatorial ambition.

of the group, Hon. Solomon Funkekeme said Governor Uduaghan is the best the
district can present at the National Assembly at this critical moment of the
nation’s democracy, stressing “his wealth of experience and leadership
qualities stand him out.”

Uduaghan to contest the Senatorial seat, saying that the network is confident
that the three ethnic groups that make up the zone be well represented at the
senate.

and solidly in support of Governor Uduaghan’s senatorial aspiration and
promised to mobilise the people of the district to back him.
