This Guy would be back in PDP next week.

you don't know this guy, the day he moves to PDP mark the end of his political career in delta central. He knows

.

The only senator elected under the DPP is making promises.

Who is fooling who. He is alone in the senate and can be easily isolated.

As a former speaker, he should know that not all road projects are the responsibility of the state govt. Stating that roads are responsibilities of the state govt shows that either he does know what the responsibilty or f the fed govt is or he is simply lying to be able to blame federal failures on the state governor who he fought against. Both scenarios shows he is not a good senator.

I will say the Urhobos are "blessed" with bad senators.

Ibru was always sleeping in the house when issues were being discussed, Brume spent his time trying to block the creation of the University of Petroleum studies Effurun, prefering distruction of the PTI in the name of affiliation to Uniben, Ibori had to push him out.

Eferakaya was just there occupying space for 4 yrs. Now Ewherido does not even know the responsibility of the Federal govt to the people he is representing. So when Next years appropraition bill comes to the senate and no Federal road project for Delta central in the bill, he will be very satsfied with the bill.

Just wonder why Block heads are representing these people
