On 20th April, 2010, the political space in Delta State stood still, the wings of the opposition both within the state and outside, within the and outside the state ruling political party, Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) lost their bearing and stand.

The Uduaghan 2011 Campaign organization was publically brought to Deltans, the roll call of men and minds who made possible the 2007 victory story of the present administration was made public, such men of confidence and commitment, upon the call of the Uduaghan 2011 campaign organization re-affirmed their commitment to doing what they know best to do, which is the realization of the second term bid of Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, as the Governor of Delta State come 2011.

Dr. Joseph Otumara, the Chairman, organizing committee of the inauguration of Uduaghan 2011 campaign organization, in his opening speech, reminded all that its time for the progressive politicking that will bring to fruition the realization of Uduaghan 2011 campaign organization’s aims and objectives, his opinion was anchored on the notion that the campaign organization has all it takes to make the dream come true.

Dr. Otumara, while recounting all the democratic milestones of the Uduaghan led-administration, collectively christianed these mil-stones “ripples of hope”

These ripples of hope he cited are the tools the campaign organization will use to defeat and put to shame all contrary forces, Dr. Otumara confidently state that with “ripples of hope” the campaign organization will pull-down all walls of opposition and force down all waves of resistance.
