AYAMA IJAW – As the race for the Ijaw National Congress (INC) presidency intensifies, frontline candidate Engr. Ebipamowei Wodu has taken his consultative tour to Ayama Ijaw, paying a strategic visit to the renowned community leader and elder statesman, Dr. Doodei Week.

The visit, which took place on Wednesday, marks a pivotal moment in Wodu’s campaign as he seeks to consolidate support among key Ijaw power brokers. Engr. Wodu is now the fourth presidential aspirant to visit Dr. Week’s residence, following earlier consultations by three other major contenders:

Addressing Dr. Week and a gathering of community stakeholders, Engr. Wodu emphasized the need for a paradigm shift in the leadership of the Ijaw nation’s apex socio-cultural body. He articulated a vision rooted in industrialization and proactive advocacy.

"My leader, Dr. Week, I have come here today not just as a candidate, but as a son of the soil who is deeply concerned about the current trajectory of the Ijaw nation," Wodu stated. "My administration will focus on unity, industrialization, and the empowerment of our youth. We must move beyond reactionary politics and begin to set the agenda for the Niger Delta."
Wodu, an engineer by profession, noted that his technical background equips him with the discipline required to manage the complex challenges facing the Ijaw people. He formally requested Dr. Week’s blessings, stating, "My track record in engineering and management has prepared me for the technical and administrative rigors this office demands."

A Call for Collective Interest
In his response, Dr. Doodei Week praised the aspirant’s character and professional standing. He noted that the influx of high-caliber candidates to Ayama Ijaw is a testament to the vibrant democratic spirit within the Ijaw nation.

"Engr. Wodu, your reputation precedes you as a man of integrity and technical excellence," Dr. Week remarked. "The INC Presidency is a sacred trust, and I am pleased to see men of your caliber stepping forward. The fact that you are the fourth candidate to visit Ayama shows that our people are engaged in the democratic process."

The elder statesman urged Wodu and other aspirants to prioritize the survival and prosperity of the Ijaw people over personal ambition. "My advice to you is to remain focused on the collective interest of the Ijaw people. We need a leader who can bridge the gap between the various states and clans," he added, concluding with a prayer for a peaceful and successful election.
Campaign Momentum

The visit concluded with a private high-level session, followed by Wodu’s interaction with local supporters in Ayama. Observers note that the INC presidential race is becoming increasingly competitive as candidates ramp up their grassroots engagement ahead of the polls.

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 ...

His approach integrates accountability, innovation, and community engagement, thereby setting a new benchmark for public service delivery. Dr. Ogbuku’s philosophy is anchored in the belief that public institutions should operate as service-oriented entities rather than power-driven structures. He has consistently emphasized that the NDDC is not merely an interventionist body but a partner ...
