A prominent youth leader and President of the Niger Delta Youths Council (NDYC), Comrade Bene Youkore Mamamu, has vowed to contest the Delta South Senatorial seat in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

Mamamu made his intention known on Friday, October 10, in a signed statement, copies of which were made available to journalists in Warri.

According to popular activist, he chosed to make his intention known early, "after due consultation with key stakeholders across the Senatorial district".

Mamamu expressed his confidence in defeating any opposition, including the incumbent Senator Joel-Onowakpo, should he choose to run for re-election.

He said, *"I am committed to creating jobs, fostering economic growth, and ensuring that the voices of our youths are heard in the Senate.

The statement partly reads, "The time for productive representation is now. Joel-Onowakpo's representation has not made any meaningful impact on Delta South apart from bills that have never attracted any Federal Government project in the Senatorial district.

"This is not time for mere paper work but a time for productive representation," he added.

Mamamu emphasized the importance of "federal projects that would not only create jobs but also improve infrastructure, healthcare, and education in the region."

The statement continued, "We need to invest in our people and our communities. My plan includes establishing vocational training centres, enhancing access to quality education, and promoting entrepreneurship among our youth.

"In addition to job creation and education, my blueprint includes initiatives aimed at environmental sustainability, particularly in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, which has faced numerous challenges related to pollution and degradation.

“My main interest for the Senatorial seat is to ensure that I achieve sustainable development that benefits all local government areas and the ethnic groups in Delta South," he stated.
