Dr Dressman gave the assurance during a campaign tour with Senator Magnus Abe to Orokoto Fishing Community in Andoni Local Government  Area of the state.
According to him, Senator Abe who is seeking re-election to represent Rivers South East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, is the only man in the district who has the listening ear of President Muhammad Buhari and who can easily convey the problems of the  Senatorial District and Andoni Constituency to the Federal Government.
Dressman also cautioned the youths in the area against any form of violence and rigging before and during the forthcoming re-run polls.
