The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, on Saturday addressed the Bayelsa State branch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during its 12th expanded stakeholders’ meeting held in Yenagoa. The gathering brought together party leaders, elders, youths, and women groups to deliberate on strategies for strengthening the APC in Bayelsa State ahead of future political engagements.

Emphasis on Unity and Collective Progress

In his remarks, Dr. Ogbuku underscored the importance of unity within the party, noting that only a cohesive and forward-looking political family can effectively deliver development to the people. He urged members to put aside personal differences and work for the common good of the state and the nation. According to him, internal divisions weaken the party’s chances of success and hinder the delivery of dividends of democracy to the people.

Commitment to Grassroots Development

Highlighting the role of the NDDC under his leadership, Dr. Ogbuku explained that the Commission remains committed to grassroots-oriented projects that directly touch lives in Bayelsa and across the Niger Delta. He assured party stakeholders that the focus on infrastructure, healthcare, youth empowerment, and climate-resilient projects would continue, with Bayelsa standing to benefit significantly.

Strengthening the Party’s Grassroots Structures

Dr. Ogbuku stressed the need to strengthen the APC’s grassroots structures across the eight local government areas of Bayelsa State. He called on ward leaders and community stakeholders to engage more with the people, listen to their needs, and carry them along in the party’s vision. This, he emphasized, is the only way the APC can earn greater trust and support from Bayelsans.

Call for Youth and Women Participation

Reaffirming his belief in inclusive politics, the NDDC boss encouraged greater involvement of youths and women in party activities. He noted that sustainable political development cannot be achieved without the active contributions of these vital groups, who make up a significant portion of the electorate.

A Vision for Bayelsa’s Political Future

Dr. Ogbuku concluded his address by calling on APC stakeholders in Bayelsa to remain steadfast, disciplined, and people-centered. He expressed confidence that with unity of purpose and visionary leadership, the party would record greater success in the state’s political landscape and contribute meaningfully to national development.

Interrogating Ogbuku’s 50th birthday celebration Published by NIGER DELTA-PROGRESS-REPORTERS  September 12th, 2025 On August 19, the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku, turned 50. A milestone. For a man of his status, you would expect a birthday bash complete with the dainties of vanity. And why not? A golden jubilee for a man of undeniable accomplishments deserves a festoon of golden confetti in Dubai, the Caribbean or any of the exotic offshore getaways. But not Ogbuku. He chose a different path. A path of value, decorum, and compassionate reflection on humanity especially on the well-being of the Niger Delta region. A true born of the region, precisely of the Ogbia ancestry in Bayelsa state, Ogbuku was raised to cherish value, integrity and uphold the dignity of his family tree, a family that through the ages has endured as an emblem of honour and veracity. So, rather than get drowned in the fountain of merriment and ...
