“Today, we resume from our weekly Prosperity Walk break. The crowd might not be as we expected, but I believe that as we continue, more people will join from next week.”
“To his immediate family, dependents, and all who held him dear, I extend, on behalf of the government and people of Bayelsa State, our heartfelt condolences. We know that words may seem insufficient in the face of such a loss, but we offer them nonetheless as a token of our solidarity and our respect. Your husband, father, brother, and relation was a worthy son of Bayelsa, a committed public servant, and a man who left a legacy of service,”
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.
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.
“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.”
“We will continue to invest in very critical areas of human capacity building, particularly in our youths via sports development, and also in the health of our people. There is no investment that is too much in these areas and several others.
“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”
“Knowing that we have a sports-loving president with what he doled out to the Super Falcons, I believe the Federal Government will support the Bayelsa State government to ensure you do well as the country’s representatives. You are no longer just Bayelsa Queens but you are now Nigerian Queens.”
“They did it in the past, and having won it nine times, I believe they can achieve what the media has dubbed “Mission X,” which will make it the 10th WAFCON title for Nigeria,” the Bayelsa governor stated.”
