He made the announcement on Wednesday in a statement entitled ‘Moving On To The Bigger Playing Field’.
Uduaghan decried that the toughest challenge for any leader in the Niger Delta region has been the issue of peace and security since 1997.
He said, “For over 12 years, I was deeply involved in the management of the issues of the region, first as Secretary to State Government (SSG), and then as governor of Delta State for eight years.”
“Strategically, we had engagement as our major tool. This involved government officials, with me in the forefront (sometimes personally going into the creeks without security at nocturnal hours), community leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, our youths, retired military officers, activists, etc,” the former governor added.
According to him, they also ensured that the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) was part of the engagement process.
