The National President of the Niger Delta Youth For Good Governance (NDYFGG), Comrade Lucky O.O. Ukueku, has debunked reports alleging that he is working for the re-election of the member representing Udu, Ughelli North and Ughelli South Federal Constituency (U3), Rt. Hon. (Rev.) Francis Ejiroghene Waive.

In a personally signed statement issued to journalists in Abuja, Comrade Ukueku, who is the first elected Executive Pioneer National President of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) Scholarship Students Worldwide, and also the former Vice Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ughelli South LGA, described the allegation as false and misleading.

He explained that the photograph currently circulating online is being displayed to suggest that he is now working with Hon. Waive, which is not true. According to him, they only met at a function and he did not follow him to the function.

“I only met him at a function. As my House of Representatives member, I have the right to snap a photograph with him and greet him as well as an elder and leader. That does not mean I am supporting his re-election. I am not working for his re-election,” Ukueku stated.

“I have never endorsed anyone, nor have I discussed with my followers whom to support in 2027 in Delta State. When the time is right, the general public will know my direction,” he added.

He further disclosed that if he must give a directive, it would not be in favour of Hon. Waive and Senator Ede Dafinone, noting that both lawmakers had disappointed him personally, considering the level of performance he had expected from them.

Comrade Ukueku added that he would soon address the people of Delta Central on why, in his opinion, Hon. Waive and Senator Dafinone do not deserve to be re-elected, across different media platforms.

“At the right time, I will even sponsor a door-to-door campaign against the two of them,” he said.

He stressed that Urhobo deserves a Senator who is outspoken and active, and not one who hides under the shadow of Senator Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State to speak.

Ukueku also questioned the status of the Federal Medical Centre attracted to Udu through the efforts of Hon. Waive and others, asking: “Where is the permanent site?”

According to him, when the time is right, there are questions that deserve to be answered.

He concluded by urging the public not to misinterpret his position, stressing that he has not endorsed anyone in Delta State, but will do so at the appropriate time.
