Eneduwa-George is an indigene of Ogwashi -Uku the headquarters of Aniocha South Local Government Area who has been in the ruling party at the federal level from its inception unlike some other party members who joined the party from PDP.

According to those piling pressure on him to throw his cap into the governorship election ring of Delta, he has the connection at the party’s national level has brilliant ideas and rich network of friends to take the state to its next level of development.

A check on his background showed that he was the vice chairman of Federation of Tourism Practitioners of Nigeria, sports administrator, aviation consultant among many other social and economic group he belongs to.

In 2015 he contested to represent the people of Aniocha South Local Government Area at the Delta State House of Assembly but lost to PDP’s MS. Angela Nwaka, another Ogwashi -Uku woman. He’s an astute administrator full of innovative ideas. His campaign in 2015 was outstanding and different from anything ever witnessed in Delta and that up till today has made him the poster child for APC in Delta State. His wealth of ideas, rich international network would be a great phenomenon for Delta State. Austine, a serial enterpreneur and a global ambassador is the kind of candidate that can raise APC’s hope with the electorate. This is the man who single handedly upgraded the Ogwashi uku/Adonte road, Agidiahe road and Odafe roads in Azungwu all in Aniotcha South LGA, is a patriotic citizen with a burning desire to raise the bar in Delta to compete with Lagos.

His emergence is going to cause a lot of confusion in the Delta political circles, as he’s highly regarded by the who is who even in People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as he is a close associate of majority of PDP stalwarts who can attest to his sagacity and prowess but  wished he was in their party rather than the opposition. Many they say would be thrown between the deep blue sea and the devil if he eventually steps out. While some will have to fight their conscience knowing he’s a patriotic politician who is desirous to raise the bar in Delta politics. Should Eneduwa-George accept this challenge then 2023 election in delta will be an interesting one.
