Bayelsa Governor, Douye Diri, has said some political actors in the state who seek to attain power at all costs have taken to discredit his works as governor.
Diri stated this on a television programme, yesterday, against the backdrop of criticisms from Labour Party (LP) gubernatorial aspirant, Udengs Eradiri.
“Those who are power hungry and those who have come to oppose, rather than looking at issues, would come from the viewpoint of attack. They have eyes but cannot see. They have ears but cannot hear,” he said.
He said rather than addressing real issues bordering Bayelsans, Eradiri was focused on throwing tantrums despite his under-performance as commissioner.
“In all the offices that he held as commissioner for environment, we still have flood and erosion. What did he do while in office,” he said.
Diri, who clinched the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the upcoming gubernatorial elections with no contenders, said the good works and projects he had implemented in his time in office had made him the choice of the people.
This is even as he reiterated his commitment to moving the state forward while uniting its people. Citing the peace and high-level security being enjoyed by Bayelsans as one of his most remarkable achievements, he also mentioned many infrastructural projects and human development projects that his administration has achieved.
