He said Buhari's progressive leadership style has helped to bring peace to the Niger Delta region.

Former Delta State governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has officially dumped the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives' Congress (APC) on Tuesday, August 28, 2018.

Uduaghan announced his defection at a meeting of the APC's national caucus, also attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.

In his official speech, titled "Moving on to the Bigger Playing Field", Uduaghan said his decision was informed by Buhari's progressive leadership style, especially in the area of bringing a permanent solution to the Niger Delta crisis.

He said the Buhari-led government's diplomatic engagement processes have brought some measure of peace to the Niger Delta region and hopes to help build on it. He said the president's infrastructural and human capital development activities in the Niger Delta region is an indication of his commitment to the region.

He further disclosed that his defection to the APC will pave the way for more Niger Deltans to join the party as they realise that working with Buhari's goverment is the way to bring lasting peace and stability to the region.

Read his full statement below:

"The toughest challenge for any leader in the Niger Delta since 1997 has been the issue of Peace and Security. For over 12 years, I was deeply involved in the management of the issues of the region, first as Secretary to State Government, SSG, and then as Governor of Delta State for 8 years. Strategically, we had ENGAGEMENT as our major tool.

"This involved government officials, with me in the forefront (sometimes personally going into the creeks without security at nocturnal hours), community leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, our youths, retired military officers, activists, etc. Of course, ensuring that Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, was active was also part of the engagement process.

"Since the inception of the current All Progressives Congress, APC, administration at the federal level, there has been an encouraging interest and activities by President Muhammadu Buhari to bring a permanent solution to the Niger Delta crisis. This has pointed in a direction that is at once progressive and developmental.

"Topmost in these activities are the ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES. Rather than using the military to harass our people, the Buhari administration has embarked on various engagement processes that have led to agreements and brought hope to the people of the Niger Delta.

"In the last years, Mr. President has personally engaged several regional leaders and youths. Senior officials of his administration also engaged many Niger Delta leaders and youths. Very significant is that Mr. President mandated the Vice President Prof Yemi Osibajo SAN, to visit virtually all the oil producing states, engaging various stakeholders. This is unprecedented in the history of the region. Such engagement processes have brought some measure of peace in the Niger Delta. Things can only get better.

"Beyond the engagement processes, however, the Buhari administration has embarked on some infrastructural and human capital development activities in the region. In Delta State, the opening of a Maritime University; the setting up of a steering committee for the EPZ (GAS CITY), the plan for a deep sea port, the dredging of the Escravos-Warri River; the opening of the railway line to Delta Steel Company, the soon to be flagged off, by Mr. President, the Omadino-Escravos Road that will pass through many riverine communities; the various road construction works by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), the various TCN projects across the State are some of the positive activities in the region.

"There are also various human capital development programmes especially the school feeding and the "social security net" that is making 5,000 Naira available to the poor, the continuation of the YouWin programme, the various SME programmes, and several other projects across the region have brought hope to the people.

"Indeed, once Mr. President was able to set his priorities pursuant to creating an environment for peace in the region, it became incumbent on every well-meaning Niger Deltan and Nigerian to assist the process of building an economically prosperous nation.

"In this era of partisan politics, it is necessary for the people of the Niger Delta, and Delta State in particular, to identify more with the Federal Government led by the APC. By so doing, we can push some of the agreements between our leaders and the Federal Government through, and also engage the government to do more. Politics is about interests.

"The Niger Delta is a major area of interest for me, because I staked my life going into the creeks severally without security and sometimes coming back at night negotiating peace. I will, therefore, give the strongest support to any President that shows commitment in the affairs of the Niger Delta. I call on, and enjoin, other well-meaning leaders in the region, who have very useful contributions to make, to come on board and join hands in helping this Federal Government to pursue a robust development agenda that would uplift our people. Whatever milestone that appears not to have been achieved yet is not for lack of efforts. Joining hands with and supporting the process will lead to a faster delivery on expectations.

"It is in the pursuit of this noble objective that I'm offering myself to help drive a process that would give the lives of our people in the Niger Delta more meaning. President Muhammadu Buhari needs people who will join hands with him to uplift our people. From my political experience, you have to be well represented and actively so at the "board room" when decisions are being taken. Delta State must be well represented. Niger Delta must be well represented.

"It is noteworthy to state that some organisations have been deeply involved in efforts to develop the Niger Delta and can always be relied on to collaborate with our President. It is also noteworthy to add that some previous administrations made significant efforts to develop the region. The current administration made such a significant impact in spite of the fact that apart from Edo State, President Buhari did not score the required 25% in the entire Niger Delta in the election that brought him into government in 2015. This speak volumes of his genuineness to uplift the Niger Delta. Such an administration should be encouraged by the people of the Niger Delta. We can never be sure of the genuiness of another person who becomes the President.

"I have, therefore, after series of consultations and prayers, taken the decision to leave the PDP and join the APC. In doing this, I want to thank the numerous leaders, supporters and interest groups that have been urging me to remain in PDP. I am happy that after explaining some of the deeper issues to you, some of you that are politicians have agreed to join the APC in the near future. So I am going into APC as "John the Baptist" to the numerous Deltans that are coming in, soon - very soon."

Uduaghan was Delta State governor between 2007 and 2015 and will contest for the Senate seat to represent the Delta South Senatorial district in the 2019 general elections.

USD: Trump Tax Plan Announcement But Where's The Money? - BTMU

BTMU FX Strategy Research notes that the move higher for the USD of late on the back of rising expectations of a Fed rate hike may also have been driven in part by some increased expectations over the pro-growth tax cutting plan being agreed between the Trump administration and Congress.

"Much of the details are already known and hence we doubt the announcement today by President Trump will lift the dollar...The foreign earnings tax will no doubt get more specific attention in the FX market but there are apparently clear plans to ensure this element is implemented over a notable number of years in order to limit the potential dollar appreciation impact.

Part of the financing of this tax cutting plan is to come from abolishing state and local tax deductions, which some Republicans oppose. The fiscal hawks within the party are also reluctant to depend too much on stronger growth projections as being the source of helping finance the program and hence getting a tax plan through Congress remains questionable – another reason the dollar is unlikely to respond greatly to today's announcement," BTMU argues.
