The Udu Local Government Area chapter of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement has paid a courtesy visit to Niger Delta journalist, Asiayei Enaibo, following his return from Qatar, where he participated in a media training programme. The delegation was led by the movement's coordinator, Chief Samson Ogheneruemu Eduba. During the visit, Eduba expressed the group's commitment to expanding the PBAT Door-to-Door campaign from the state level to local governments, wards, and polling units across the Niger Delta.

The movement's coordinator, Chief Samson Ogheneruemu Eduba, said the group had recognised the commitment of High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, to the development of the Niger Delta region. Eduba stated that the movement would continue its door-to-door campaign to sensitise people on the achievements of the Tinubu-led administration in the Niger Delta and encourage support for Ekpemupolo and other political leaders ahead of the next general elections.

Eduba also said the group supported efforts aimed at bringing governance closer to the people of the Niger Delta and expressed the movement's readiness to continue its grassroots mobilisation. The visit brought together local government officials, ward-level representatives, and unit coordinators of the movement in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State. The meeting was described as a moment of political synergy and cordial engagement ahead of the next general elections.

Responding to the delegation, Enaibo, a media practitioner, emphasised the importance of the media in amplifying the voices, activities, and messages of grassroots political groups. He urged members of the Udu chapter to remain committed to their cause and encouraged them to serve as ambassadors of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement within their communities.

Enaibo also advised the group to remain focused, noting that involvement in community and political activities could bring dividends to their communities. He recently expressed profound gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, for providing Niger Delta media practitioners with the opportunity to undergo specialised international training at the Al Jazeera Media Institute in Doha, Qatar.

The Udu chapter reaffirmed its commitment to grassroots mobilisation and the PBAT Door-to-Door campaign across the local government, ward, and polling-unit levels. The visit was seen as a demonstration of the movement's dedication to engaging with local communities and promoting political participation.
