Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has reaffirmed the significance of the State’s Annual Thanksgiving Day as more than just a tradition but a way of life deeply rooted in faith and unity. Speaking at the commencement of the 14th edition with a three-day Solemn Assembly in Yenagoa, the Governor urged citizens to embrace gratitude, peace, and productivity as guiding principles for Bayelsa’s continued progress.
In moments like this, truth must not be left to suffocate under the weight of falsehood. The public is therefore advised to disregard these malicious fabrications and remain assured that Chief Sylva remains committed to the peace, stability, and progress of Nigeria.
“Contrary to Mr. Nabena’s fears, Governor Diri has proven himself to be a unifier—an inclusive leader committed to working with all stakeholders for the collective good.”
“It is true, the meeting held. Niger Delta stakeholders believe President Tinubu has done a lot for the region — look at the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the university approved for Ogoni land, and several other projects. The consensus is that the region should back Tinubu’s second-term bid. That was what Tompolo came to discuss with the former President.”
“This is one area of cooperation we seriously desire. We want to see private sector-driven housing projects in Bayelsa, particularly in a place we call the New Yenagoa City. Same for power and water supply.”
When created, the South-East will be on par with the South-South, South-West, North-Central, and North-East zones, each of which currently has six states. The South-East remains the only geo-political zone with five states—Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.
“It was an honour to provide quality and effective representation for my constituents and contribute to the growth and development of our state through the PDP.”
If the court permits these witnesses to testify, the proceedings could expose uncomfortable truths about governance, law enforcement, and political accountability—while also putting pressure on the Tinubu administration amid renewed calls from the Southeast for Kanu’s release.
