“Under the leadership of Governor Douye Diri, Bayelsa is rising. We are witnessing a renewed sense of purpose, development and hope. Now we are enjoying constant power, and our communities are connected by roads. The task before us is to sustain this momentum and build a state that future generations will be proud to inherit.”
