 Bishop Degi Eremienyo who started as a Councillor and became Vice Chairman of Council in the Old Brass Local Government Area, when the three LGAs that make Bayelsa East Senatorial District today, were all Brass Local Government Area. There he had the privileges of interacting with the very people who had known him over the years before bifurcations and before Bayelsa was created.

 Bishop Degi-Eremienyo served as Hon. Commissioner for Health in the Government of Bayelsa State, where he wrote his name in letters of gold which catapulted him to national lime-lite, where he served the nation as a Director at FERMA. So vast is the experience of the newly elected Senator, Bishop Degi Eremienyo that his victory at the polls has given a ray of hope to those who know him, rejoicing  that, Bayelsa East has by the Grace of God elected a credible leader.
