NDC Chieftain Doubara Kumokou Gifts Cars to Supporters, Calls for Youth Development Beyond Politics

A chieftain of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Bayelsa State, Hon. Doubara Kumokou, has gifted cars to two individuals, including longtime supporter Hon. Watari Kenigbolo, as part of activities marking Kenigbolo’s 45th birthday in Yenagoa.

Kumokou, popularly known as the “Youth Governor,” also presented a vehicle to Mr. Kokobaiye Abeki, a youth member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during the celebration. Speaking at the event, Kumokou said the gesture was in recognition of Kenigbolo’s loyalty and commitment over the years.“I decided to surprise Hon. Kenigbolo with this car in appreciation of his dedication and steadfastness,” he said.

The NDC stalwart, who is seeking to represent Yenagoa/Kolokuma/Opokuma Federal Constituency in 2027, called for youth development initiatives that transcend political affiliations. He urged leaders to support young people through skills acquisition programmes, business grants, and other empowerment initiatives.

According to him, sustainable development can only be achieved when empowerment programmes are driven by genuine concern for citizens rather than political interests.The event also featured the defection of Amaebi Boyei, described as an APC youth leader in Yenagoa, alongside supporters who joined the NDC.

Welcoming the new members, Neze Charles, Secretary of NDC Ward One in Yenagoa Constituency I, assured them of equal opportunities within the party. In his remarks, Kenigbolo thanked Kumokou for the gift and expressed appreciation to guests who attended his birthday celebration.
