A frontline female leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State, Barr. Abieatedoghu Bob-Abbey Hart, has declared her intention to contest the 2015 governorship election in the state.
The governorship hopeful who is also a development consultant said she would tackle challenges of unemployment, insecurity and also guarantee better life for people of the state if elected governor.
Bob-Hart who was elected into the House of Representatives in 1997 to represent Bonny/Degema federal constituency said her motivation to contest the governorship election stemmed from the burning passion to deliver quality governance to people of the state.
She said as a development consultant, she already had a blueprint to tackle the problems of housing, transportation and also develop the agricultural sector in the state.
Bob-Hart who said she was the first leader of the PDP in 1998 in Bonny local government area and contested the April 2011 governorship election, assured that she was going to come up with several empowerment programmes for youths and women in the state, adding that she would focus on developing the education sector, creating industries and also strengthening the health sector.
The governorship hopeful who expressed optimism that she would clinch the party’s ticket for the election said she had built political bridges across the state.
She said, “I am a practising lawyer, graduated from University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Rivers State in 1991, 23 years ago, a development consultant and an intellectual in the business of developing strategies and concepts for nation building.
“I was elected to the House of Representatives in 1997, in a keenly contested election in Rivers State to represent Bonny/Degema Federal Constituency. My political career started in 1987 when I attempted to contest the councillorship election of my Ward in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State.”
Bob Hart who recalled how she received the sponsorship of Chief Rufus Ada George, a former governor of Rivers State at the beginning of her political career, added, “I was the first Peoples Democratic Party political leader of the Party in 1998 for Bonny Local Government Area, a respected and responsible elder and stakeholder in the Party, and a high ranking political leader.”
Giving an insight into her career in the legal profession, she said: “I started my law practice in 1994 from the Law Office of Senibo & Senibo & Co, and in 1995 set up my law firm Abie Atedoghu Legal Consultancy, specializing in Petroleum and Gas Matters. In the course of practice, I carved a niche for myself in legal drafting.
“I became involved with defending and fighting for the rights of oil producing communities of the Niger Delta region. Experience led me to set-up the Lifeline Project Centre involved in providing needed legal support to neglected oil producing communities in Sangamabie, Kalaibiama, Bakana, Ndoni, Baen etc in Rivers State”, she added.
