As you vote, you have committed me to do more projects in Southern Ijaw LGA."

"On behalf of the campaign council, we say a very big thank you to all of you for coming out massively. And I know for every Oporoma man that is here, the road and bridge is the most important thing to you. I want to assure that next year by this time, we will be driving to Oporoma community. The last time I came here during the 2022 devastating flood, when you were in severe pains, I sympathized with you and brought palliatives. I promise you generator, by God's grace before we go into Christmas, that generator will come to Oporoma. I thank you for the organic support and commitment to your government and party. I assure you we will continue to do more people-oriented projects", Gov. Diri stated.
