As the Bayelsa State Governorship Election comes up in another sixty days, Bayelsa State Government has  called on all well-meaning people in Ekeremor and the entire state to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which  she said represents light and purposeful development in the state.

 Speaking  when a delegation of a group known as Ekeremor Grassroots Prosperity Women Forum visited him in Government House, Yenagoa, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo the deputy governor of the state underscored the benefits of continuity in government within constitutionally prescribed timeframe

  Ewhrudjakpo equally urged the people to be firm in protecting their votes to enable the current government continue its good works beyond February next year.

He assured women of the state that it would sustain and expand the scope of its subsisting economic empowerment programmes to enhance their general well-being. 

 He acknowledged the pivotal role women play in societal development, stressing that the Governor Douye Diri-led administration would continue to carry them along in its scheme of things.

The Deputy Governor,  commended the group for complementing the present administration efforts by embarking on self development programmes such as skills acquisition in Ekeremor Local Government Area.

 Describing the move as quite thoughtful and self reliant,  Ewhrudjakpo who spoke in Ijaw, promised that government would support them to take the training programme to more communities in the area.

In their separate remarks, the President of the Ekeremor Grassroots Prosperity Women Forum, Mrs. Matu Komuko, and the Secretary, Mrs. Preye Joy Oyafegha, said their visit was to inform the Deputy Governor of their activities and programmes in various communities, promoting the PDP-led administration in the state.

Mrs. Matu Komuko, who pointed out that the Forum had used their resources to train women from Ekeremor to acquire skills in soap and perfume-making, as well as insecticide production, appealed for support from government to sustain and extend the training to cover all communities in the Ekeremor LGA.
