“Our party is kicking very well in Bayelsa State. We remain the party to beat. PDP has never been beaten in Bayelsa. So, all those haggling for 2027, if you want anything meaningful, you better come to PDP.”
“Depriving the state of its rightful allocations imposes undue hardship on a people who have consistently contributed to national sustenance”
“What propelled me to build a new secretariat was the civil servants’ request for office accommodation, which became a recurring decimal every Workers’ Day in the state.”
“In the face of such a loss, what can we say that would adequately capture the essence of her spirit and character? Let us thus draw strength from our shared faith and simply say in the words of the hymn writer: “Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.”

As a government, we take human capital development seriously, and we don’t play politics with the empowerment of our people.
“I consider this empowerment scheme as one aspect of this administration that we will continue to do so that our people will not be government-dependent. We will have a state that the private sector can develop and you are those thar will develop the private sector.”

For clarity, my earlier directives were triggered by the unlawful “inauguration” of a parallel Ward Executive Committee for Ogbia Ward 9 by the State Working Committee, following the refusal of the authentic WEC to suspend me from the Party without justification.

“At this fifth anniversary of our administration, we have paid over N20 billion as gratuity and pension to retired citizens and we will continue to ensure that they receive them. Before we leave office, we would have cleared the backlog.”
