2023: NEW ZONING FORMULA FAVOURS DEGI

As the count down to the 2023 General Elections begins, the United Bayelsa East Senatorial District Forum and Stakeholders have passed a vote of confidence on Senator B. W. -Eremienyo for effectively representing the district through people-oriented motions/ bills and developmental projects that directly impact positively on the constituents, as well evenly distributed.

To this end, the Forum and the stakeholders call on him to re-contest.

In a-sixteen point communique signed by fourteen members including Engineer Numonoipre Wills, Dr Tonye Okio and High Chief(Rtd Major) Inikio Sele-Dede, representating the three local government areas that make up the senatorial district ; Ogbia, Nembe and Brass, says the decision of calling on Senator Degi to re-contest is not against the zoning spirit but to ensure the senatorial district produces ranking member in the 10th senate to hold key positions and attract more development by the Grace of Almighty God.

The communique notes that this arrangement replaces the previous single term zoning and after Degi’s second term, Ogbia takes over for her two terms and then to Brass to ensure fairness.

This according to the communique is done with a clear conscience and devoid of partisan political
undertones, believing that this is in the best interest of the Bayelsa East Senatorial District.
