Appah Macauley was a pragmatist, a mentor, a man who understood the weight of legacy. Often, he reminded us that the wrestling family would bury him. He spoke without fear, because he had already made his mark.
Governor Diri commended residents for turning out in large numbers to honour the late leader, stressing that true legacy lies not in longevity but in impact. According to him, Senator Lawrence Ewhrujakpo made a lasting impact on the state through his service and dedication.
“This club was established over fifteen years ago. Our main centre is at the Sports Complex, and we train three times a week—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. What we do is aerobics and other exercises to keep fit. We advise interested persons to join us at the Samson Siasia Sports Complex.”
“Let it not be that this turnout happens only when the governor is around. Even when I’m away, I expect to see this level of participation because it’s for your own good and for the wellbeing of our people and government”
“You don’t have to wait for the Governor to come out. The moment it is Thursday, you have to remind yourself. Whether the Governor is there or not, whether the Commissioner or Assembly members are there or not, it’s for your own benefit, for your health.”
In the second half, Bayelsa came close to taking the lead. Seimeyeha Akekoromowei burst down the left in the 75th minute, drawing a strong save from Dabilgou, before Shakirat Moshood forced the Ivorian goalkeeper into another parry from a 30-yard free-kick six minutes later. Akekoromowei tried to pounce on the rebound but was penalised for a foul.
“Businesses and oil companies operating on our land should encourage our girls in whatever way that they can to promote sports.”
“You must come home having beaten the entire West African zone. You’re not just representing Bayelsa or Nigeria—you’re representing West Africa in this female continental engagement. That is my charge to you.”
“The Governor Diri Scrabble Championship was the focus for scrabble players across the world as it was going on in the Bayelsa capital. We succeeded in introducing technology to positively showcase Bayelsa and the governor’s contribution to human capacity development”
