In truth, Bayelsa State has not been fairly treated in the creation of Local Government Areas to the extent that today, we still have just 8 local government areas as opposed to some other states with 44 and 40 local government areas. That to us is a clear injustice!
Governor Diri’s actions serve as a powerful reminder that irrespective of our accomplishments, we must remain humble and acknowledge the higher power that guides us, protects us, and grants us success.

That is placing nation above self and toiling until they reached the touchline. Thanks goodness, Nigeria honoured them respectively with toply distinctions of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) and Officer of the Order of the Federal (OFR).
