The administration of Senator Douye Diri commemorated its sixth anniversary on Saturday, February 14, with a thanksgiving service at the Ecumenical Centre in Igbogene.
This year’s celebration was subdued in observance of the late Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, who passed away.
At the service, Governor Diri paid tribute to his late deputy, noting that Ewhrudjakpo began the journey with him in 2020.
Reading the sole Bible lesson from Psalm 23:1-6, Diri thanked Bayelsans and other arms of government for their support, which he said contributed to the successes achieved by his administration.
He urged citizens to embrace unity, tolerance, and reconciliation for the development of the state.
“All we need to do is to unite and harness the human and material resources that abound in our state for our collective benefits. Bayelsa is so blessed with oil and gas and so much more.
“Now we are changing the narrative about Bayelsa’s difficult terrain by building roads to open up our hinterland and connecting communities and we are still awarding more contracts.
