I am from Delta state and a supporter of GEJ, not because he is from the south-south. I can say that he is doing well but really slow. Volumes have been written about his many achievements especially this well packaged and publicized report. http://sureandsteadytransformation.gov.ng/download/Sure_and_Steady_Transformation_Volume_One.pdf
My question is; what has GEJ done that the people of the Niger Delta will hold on to after he is long gone from office. If you go through the report at the link above, there are great achievements but which one is particularly beneficial to the people of the Niger Delta.
1. The East/West Road project is already a ghost that will continue to hunt this administration. Much is already being said about that road, no need for me to waste time on that.
2. The dredging of the River Niger is beneficial to the north.
3. GEJ is building a new sea port in Kogi State (Northern Nigeria). How many of you know the state of Calabar port, Onne port, Koko/Warri port etc.
4. Billions of Naira is being spent on Amajiris in the north. Thank God for what people like Amaechi, Akpabio are doing in the education sector in their various states.
5. GEJ is transforming the agric sector; we all know that agriculture is basically for the north and may be the S/W but not for the Niger Delta.
6. The only road construction projects in the South South are those of the various state governments. In Akwa Ibom/Cross River state, the Itu-Calabar has been in its current bad state. That is the worst road in Akwa Ibom state.
NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta and other FG agencies are engaging on petty projects like road construction (that will last for just a few years), borehole drilling, installation of transformers etc. these are petty reoccur rant projects.
In my conclusion, as it is now, at the end of the day, the people of the Niger Delta will only have many individual billionaires that have immerse their wealth through their connection to the presidency but THE NIGER DELTA AS A PEOPLE AND A REGION WILL HARDLY HAVE ANYTHING TO HOLD-ON TO AFTER GEJ IS GONE. May God help us.
You can comment otherwise.

He is the president of Nigeria not the Niger-Delta, you expect special favors while complaining when politicians take care of their own. GEJ is a good president and that is why he has not gone that direction, if there was anything dire in the Niger-Delta that could not be taken care of by the PIB he would do it but there seems to be nothing.

He has done nothing for Nigeria
Why ask about Niger Delta,is ND a country?
He is the president of Nigeria and not Niger Delta for God sake.

CROWÉ: He is the president of Nigeria not the Niger-Delta, you expect special favors while complaining when politicians take care of their own.

So in order not to be seen as clannish, those from his side shouldn't enjoy the dividends of democracy and demands shouldn't be made? It only goes to show the widespread discontent that surrounds GEJ's government. Funny you assume the passage of PIB will solve the problems!

Dude, please do yourself a favour & stop fooling yourself you i-diot, the clueless fisher man has done nothing, I am a Deltan as well.

Sit there and wait for GEJ to come and do the job of ur Governor!!

Classical Nonsense!!!

Mac, you never talk wetin Uduaghan do you.

berem: Mac, you never talk wetin Uduaghan do you.

Who told you that's my name??

Anyway, Uduaghan is a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Delta is about the 2nd richest state in Nigeria, yet there is nothing in the State to show for it.

Uduaghan is a cursed vulture rejected even by his kinsmen.

I do not assume the passage of the PIB will solve the problem, I know that the PIB attempts to solve the problems in Niger-Delta which is more than enough given there are many other areas in Nigeria that need attending to.

are you surprised i know your name? you no know say i be Jack Bauer?

Of course he is a big disappointment. it's a shame that as rich as Delta state, there is no meaningful development. I haven't seen any deltan who says good of uduaghan. likewise other governors who have failed in their various states.

For your mind oooo......

I curse Uduaghan each time I pass through Edo State and see the transformation currently going on there.

That is why I don't give a fvrk about Igbo presidency , it would be a big disappointment

South South is now like Dubai - thank you our son. We said it, when one of our own rules South South will become the envy of other regions.

Thank you GEJ our son.

He is the president of Nigeria, very true and he is doing well nationally e.g. in agric, power etc but if major critical issues/projects that will more directly affect the people of the Niger Delta region are not done in his tenure, when will they be done.

Projects like reviving the refineries, the east/west road, the sea ports etc are still national projects but will directly affect that region. The transformation in the agric and power sectors are national projects but not particularly beneficial to the reion.
