Immediate past governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, says he was at the Presidential Villa to consult with President Muhammadu Buhari for some good developmental reasons including the 2019 general elections.

BigPen Online recalls that Uduaghan, a Delta South senatorial candidate in the 2019 election, met with Buhari behind closed doors on Friday.

His meeting however coincidentally came same day as that of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, as well as Senator Kabiru Marafa, a governorship aspirant in Zamfara State who also met with the President after the Friday jumat service at the State House mosque.

Uduaghan said his discussion with Mr President centred around area of infrastructure, particularly in Delta State, some issues concerning the All Progressives Congress in the state and on the party winning all elections come 2019.

Hear him: “There have been efforts by the APC-led government in engaging the people of the Niger Delta, the leaders, youths and various stakeholders on the necessity for peace in the Niger Delta and that engagement process has really paid off.

“Also in the area of infrastructure, particularly in Delta State, we have the Escravos bar which is an entry to the Warri river that has already been dredged by the APC-led Federal Government.

“We have the Minister of transport who came with a train for the very first time to Aladja. The Itakpe-Aladja railway line is being completed and has been tested.

“The Maritime University has been opened; roads have been constructed, especially by NDDC, so there is appreciable performance by the APC- led Federal Government as far as Delta State is concerned.

“So, I just came to appreciate him in that regard and to let him know as APC members we shall campaign aggressively for APC to win all elections in Delta State,’’ he said.

The former governor said he also appealed to Buhari to intervene in the Osubi Airport issue.

He said that the Airport, which was close to Warri, had been closed for more than one month because of crisis between the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and a private firm.

According to him, there is need to quickly re-open the airport while discussions are going on whatever the issues are.
