Hon. Peter Etuwere Ogbavweni, a frontline chairmanship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, has assured residents of Udu of sustainable development in Udu, if elected to serve. 

Honourable Peter Etuwere while addressing newsmen during an interview session said, "as we look forward to a new direction and leadership in our Local Government Council, I present myself for service that is anchored on sustainable development and people oriented programs. 

"I believe that my agenda will turn around the fortune of Udu local government area, if I am given the mandate to serve. 

The Chairmanship hopeful disclosed that as part of his desires to serve the people of Udu, he will be responsible and accountable to the people that he will be representing. 

"With my agenda, the realisation of making Udu  the envy of other local government will be a dream come true. I want to appeal to the Leadership of our great party, the People Democratic Party, PDP, to support me ahead of the party primary.

I will run an all inclusive government, providing all of the following;

"Health can not be wealth when people finds it difficult and impossible to access affordable and efficient health system at the local government level. My administration will introduce a drug revolving funds in our health care centres so that our people can get drugs at a very cheap and affordable rate. 

If elected, I will improve on electricity, meet with the state Ministry of Power and Energy, Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) and relevant stakeholders to pursue a concrete deal that will address and find a lasting solution to the challenges of Electricity in Udu local government area. 

I will make the department of Local Education Authority (LEA) functional, schools will be renovated and upgraded to best standard. Teachers in our primary schools will be provided with all the necessary teaching aids, pupils/students will be provided with writing materials. Shortage of desk, teaching and non teaching staffs, will become folktales. 

My administration will institute a security structure and operations that will be effective and protective for all. I will work with the various security agencies like the Police, DSS, The Army, Navy, Vigilantes to fight crime. Community Chairmen and District Head will not be left out. Residents security will be on top priority in my administration if I am elected. 

"There will be accountability in my administration. I promise to account for every kobo  spent in the local government, whatever I do shall be transparent and open to all. I promise to judiciously utilize the resources of Udu with the fear of God Almighty".

My leadership will provide essential services in terms of security to life and properties, health care services, waste management, and infrastructural development to improve the quality of lives in our locality. 

I will be the voice of our people, advocating for their needs and concerns at the local government level and beyond as the case may be. I have distinguished myself when it comes to effective representation. My antecedents as a former councilor and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State speak volumes about me.

I will work towards economic and social development of our council, promoting education, and youth empowerment.

I will uphold and enforce local laws and regulations, as enshrined in our constitution. I will maintain peace and order within our jurisdiction that will strengthen our oneness which in return will bridge the gap of disunity.

If I am given the mandate to represent the people of Udu, my administration will promote sustainable practices that protects the environment and ensure the long-term well-being of our communities.

I appeal to the good people, especially the leaders of Udu to give me the opportunity to serve, he added.
