A grassroots Ijaw group called POLIVOX has formally requested that Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, considers Dr. Famous Sayerigha Eseduwo for the role of Deputy Governor.

POLIVOX emphasized that Eseduwo's extensive experience and background in public service make him a strong candidate for the vacant deputy governorship position, encouraging Governor Diri to reflect on his qualifications.

The appeal was articulated in a congratulatory message to Dr. Eseduwo on his birthday. This statement, which was signed by Johnson Ebikeme, the Publicity Officer for POLIVOX, commended the honoree as a man of integrity, altruism, and demonstrated leadership ability.

The message conveyed by the group described the birthday celebrant as someone whose life reflects values like dedication, honor, patriotism, transparency, impartiality, honesty, wisdom, and integrity.

In part, the statement shared, “POLIVOX, an emerging grassroots organization aiming to influence the political and social landscape, honors a life entirely committed to serving humanity, recognizing the achievements of a person whose journey from Angalabiri Town in Sagbama Local Government Area to the highest levels of Nigeria's public service exemplifies perseverance and commitment.”

“As sunlight brightens the Niger Delta, we celebrate not only Dr. Famous Sayerigha Eseduwo's birthday but also the legacy of excellence, integrity, and visionary leadership he has built over decades of unwavering dedication to the public good,” the statement noted.

“It’s a narrative crafted through sacrifice and enlightened by knowledge that beckons Bayelsa to a pivotal decision.”

“Dr. Eseduwo’s significant intellect was honed through rigorous academic pursuits across various continents. From his time at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to his educational journey at the University of Texas, he sought knowledge with relentless passion, emerging as more than just a scholar.”

“Currently, Bayelsa is at a pivotal junction. The unexpected demise of Deputy Governor Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo has not only left a vacancy but has also disrupted the delicate balance of equity and representation essential to our political stability.”

“The Bayelsa West Senatorial District and Constituency 1, rightful holders of this position, should not be overlooked in our state's governance.”

“Neglecting this would violate the very principles of fairness and rotational justice that undergird our unity. In these trying times, a figure has emerged, perfectly positioned to restore continuity, competence, and trust.”

“Dr. Famous Eseduwo is that individual. He possesses a unique combination of grassroots knowledge and federal experience, as well as academic depth and administrative skill, underpinned by political wisdom and a patriotic spirit.”

“He is not a mere candidate of convenience; rather, he is a capable leader shaped by experience and dedicated to progress.”

“Thus, on his special day, we call upon the conscience of our people and our shared purpose: To His Excellency, the Governor of Bayelsa State, here is a partner whose dedication, intellect, and vigor will align with your vision for a thriving Bayelsa.”

“To our political leaders throughout the state, here is a unifying figure whose credibility transcends divisions and whose humility earns respect.”

“To our esteemed traditional leaders, elders, women, youth, and all stakeholders, behold a servant-leader committed to uplifting others, creating opportunities, and establishing institutions.”

“Let us seize this moment not just to fill a gap, but to select a Deputy Governor who embodies the finest aspects of Bayelsa’s history, the perseverance of its present, and the promise of its future.”

Additionally, the organization called on Bayelsans to stand in support of Dr. Famous Sayerigha Eseduwo for stability, equity, excellence, and the collective welfare of the cherished Bayelsa.

“Happy Birthday, Dr. Eseduwo. May your legacy of service now enter its most meaningful chapter, leading Bayelsa forward in unity and strength.
