The Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, Sen. Douye Diri, has called on youths to shun violence, drugs, and cultism. Governor Diri made the call at the 164th State Executive Council meeting held at the Exco Chambers of Government House, Yenagoa. While addressing the recent upsurge of cult killings in the state, the governor noted that…
“On behalf of the government and people of Bayelsa State, I congratulate the worthy champions of the 2024/2025 female league in our country. As a government, we are very proud of this achievement.”
“The Forum finds alarming the worsening security situation in the country, as evidenced in parts of the country especially Borno, Plateau, Katsina and Edo States. The Forum calls for review and reordering of priorities and strategies, including adopting a bottom-up template that guarantees the sub-nationals to constitute an effective line of defence against security breaches.
“We note that your leadership has brought a renewed sense of hope and optimism to the people of Bayelsa State. Your focus on people-oriented projects has endeared you to the hearts of the people, and has set a high standard for other leaders to follow.
“We cannot be talking about prosperity without taking care of our health. That is why we always started our anniversaries with a medical outreach.”
“As you move on to other responsibilities, we see you as an ambassador of Bayelsa State and we urge you to portray our state in a positive light.”
“The legacy of our heroes calls for a Nigeria where justice, equity, and prosperity are tangible realities for all citizens. It is about ensuring that policies and actions bring about meaningful and positive outcomes, addressing the needs of all Nigerians, and working towards the common good.
“The truth is that Bayelsa is the melting pot of all Ijaws. So, we came as a state delegation to appreciate the President for these very important appointments and we believe that our daughters and our sons will add value to his administration.”
Whether anybody likes it or not, he continued where Dickson stopped. If it were some other Governors, they would abandon those things and look for other ways, but the man continued. That singular action of the present governor is what I liked him about most, and I believe that I’m speaking the minds of several Bayelsans. Our problem was roads, how to get to the hinterlands. This time, our hinterlands are the riverine areas. So what I mean is roads, not only those three senatorial roads, he has extended off the three senatorial roads to reach out more into the depths of our rivers and seas. So his pattern, he went away from the normal way of once a new government comes, the old arrangements are gone, whether they were good or not.
“I charge you to bring your skill and experience to bear in helping us achieve the vision of our brand new acronymn, A.S.S.U.R.E.D Prosperity, for all Bayelsans”.
