Bayelsa: I Need Your Support, Diri Pleads With Jonathan, APC

Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has solicited the support of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the arduous task of governing Bayelsa State.

He has also called on the All Progressives Congress, (APC), governorship candidate David Lyon, the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva and opposition parties in the state to support his administration.

Diri who presented his Certificate of Return to the former president a few hours after he received it from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), made the plea on Sunday at a thanksgiving service at Gloryland Chapel in Government House Yenagoa.

While thanking God for giving him the opportunity to serve the people of Bayelsa State, the governor urged his supporters to be magnanimous in victory as he was ready to appoint people in opposition into his cabinet.

He said: “I will be governor of all, be it PDP, APC and others. We must remain united and ensure peace in our land. That is the only time we can be talking of development. Let us work together.”

Diri promised to bring development to every part of the state but warned that his administration would have zero-tolerance for crimes.

 “Our administration will not condone crimes and criminalities. No development can take place in the atmosphere devoid of peace.”.

 Apostle Zilly Aggrey of Royal House of Grace International,  in his speech said  that no man should take the glory for the declaration of Diri as governor by the Supreme Court.

Aggrey advised the governor to be wary of bootlickers who, according to him, have the habit of running down other people for personal gains.

He said: “Every community in Bayelsa State should have good drinking water.   You should work with competent Nigerians, Koreans, the Chinese, Germans and people of other good nations to bring development to our people. Our youths need jobs”.
