Congratulations to His Excellency Duoye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State and his Deputy, His Excellency Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo on their one year anniversary in office, - a call to do more to regain the confidence of Bayelsans.
Your Excellencies, the Governor and Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State. It is one year since you miraculously assumed the mantle of leadership of Bayelsa State, the home of the people having the forth largest population in Nigeria and bearers of the wealth of the Nigerian State. A great Nation of the Izon People and endowed with vast resources and intelligent stakeholders, such as yourselves.
Bayelsans have decided that they cannot continue to look for a leader when they have been given one already by God almighty, and have decided to stand with you till the end through thick and thin, with a view that, what we have is even better than what we hoped for, considering the circumstances of your eventual emergence as our leaders in the current political dispensation.
Liberation Movement political party, as one of the forerunners to your victory in the aftermath of the gubernatorial polls wish to used this medium to express our profound respect and appreciation to you for your purposeful leadership and developmental strides within the first one year of your administration even in these trying times of economic hardship and the Covid-19 virus. We do not intend to praise you but want to commend you for your industry, mastery and patience as you stir the ship of our dear state towards prosperity as the captain and assistant captain we have elected you to be in the Bayelsa State project.
While we celebrate your mastery of political administration and sustainable development with other Bayelsans this Valentine's day, we want to also remind you that there is no time, as the years in political spheres pass very swiftly. We urge you to make haste while the sun shines and ensure that you cease this opportunity to write your names in the sands of time by changing the fortunes of Bayelsa State for the better.
We see your victory as a divine orchestration and implore you to draw strength from the favour bestowed on you by God to convince Bayelsans that, indeed, better times are here.
We have lots of untapped fortunes and potentials that we want you to assist us to harness and promote for sustainable development of our dear state and its environment, even as we call on you to tighten security in our state and region by coming up with regional plans with other governors in the region, to safeguard our people as they go about their lawful business activities in the state and region, both on land and our waterways. We consider our security in Nigeria as the most important thing right now, and an assurance of your commitment to it, both at the state and regional level will assure us of your desire to be the leader we desire.
Your Excellencies, love is natural. Love for ones heritage is eternal. Wherever we go, we will remain Izon people, so let's be the best Izon people we can be, while we can because time and chance do not wait for anyone. May the prosperity you preach be our portion as we pledge to work hand in gloves with your administration to reposition Bayelsa State in the comity of prosperous states in Nigeria.
Happy Valentine's day Bayelsa State, and Congratulations to the prosperity administration.
Signed:
Aniso, Oyindinepre Abraham
(State Chairman)
