The Yenagoa Coordinator of the New Generation Leaders, a social political group, Comrade Odede Charles Precious has called out the Bayelsa state government to stop playing politics with his maternal community Obogoro and react immediately to the plight its citizens as promised on several occasions.
It’s a pity how Yenagoa is paid little or no attention even as a state capital of an oil rich state Bayelsa. Obogoro community, situated in Yenagoa local government, the heart of Bayelsa is almost going extinct due to neglect by the state government as more than half of landed properties in the community have been destroyed by erosion.
Stressing that it has now dawned on us the people of EpieAtissa that the proposed prosperity idea orchestrated by the state government isn’t meant for the people of EpieAtissa as the people haven’t really felt the impact of governance especially the case Obogoro community whose son is the Honorable Commissioner of Health.
• Noting that there have been several assurances from the government through the ministry of environment that arrangements have long been concluded and that expert contractors have been mobilized to site to effect the canalization project which would put to end the destruction of properties by the ravaging erosion rendering mothers, fathers and innocent children homeless and it is so frustrating that non of the claimus were true whereas there is a serious canalization project going on in one of the communities in the governor’s local government Odi to be precise.
Odede ended by saying he wonders what will be the administration’s campaign strategy especially when they land the community to campaign as election is fast approaching .
The people are not fools but rather are set to communicate their grievances through the ballot.8
