“There should be no room for cultism in this university. I have given the Vice Chancellor a charge as the Visitor to this institution, and as government, I have also charged all security agencies in the state. Anyone found engaging in cultism in this university, do not hesitate to apply the sanctions.”
“My only regret, sadness and pain are that she did not live long enough to reap the fruits of her labour.”
“As you know, sports development is one of the key pillars of our Assured development programme. Sports is one area we can use to remove our youths from crime and criminality.”
“Any Bayelsa youth involved in cult-related killings, I call on you to be born again. As we continue to call on you to move away from cultism, I have directed all security agencies to go after anyone so identified. All hands must be on deck to ensure that the issue of cultism was stopped.”
Today, we make a solemn appeal to all critical stakeholders, party faithfuls, community leaders, and political actors across our senatorial district: Let the zoning arrangement stand. Let the Senate seat rotate back to Ekeremor Local Government Area, while the House of Representatives seat returns to Sagbama Local Government Area, in line with the agreed formula.
Until his death Wanemi was an ardent supporter of the Bayelsa state PDP, he was a political appointee in former Governor Seriake Dickson’s government and the current Governor Douye Diri”s government. He was the current Vice chairman of the well respected MOSIEND (MOVEMENT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE IZON ETHNIC NATIONALITY IN THE NIGER DELTA), the PDP Ward 3 Ewoama Brass LGA will definitely miss him.
We must unite, particularly in the Niger Delta, to continue his legacy. I am glad our leader, former President Goodluck Jonathan, is here. We must rally around him and remain united, because it is only through unity that we can achieve more for our people.
Bayelsa deserves peace. Our youth deserve to live. Our leaders must rise above politics and take decisive action. Governor Diri has an opportunity to lead differently—to ensure that this generation is not another casualty of violence and neglect.
“Let us go back to the days when we had no fences in our villages where we lived a communal life of freedom and justice. There are those who have sacrificed their lives for us so that we will have a homogeneous Ijaw state. One of those who fought for the creation of Bayelsa was Pa Clark.”
