At inception, the project symbolised a broader vision of urban expansion and economic growth.

SSRG slams NDC, warns Bayelsans against political deception

SSRG slams NDC, warns Bayelsans against political deception

The South-South Reawakening Group (SSRG) has rejected the emergence of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Bayelsa State, branding it a misguided political venture with no meaningful prospects in the Niger Delta.

Speaking on Thursday, the group’s convener, Elder Joseph Ambakederimo, said the SSRG does not regard the NDC as a credible political platform, dismissing suggestions that it represents the interests of the Ijaw people.

According to him, the party lacks the political, ideological and structural foundation required to gain relevance in Bayelsa State or across the wider Niger Delta region. He described its positioning as a fallacy driven by personal ambitions rather than collective progress.
