…Urges participants to be good ambassadors of truth
“You are welcome to Bayelsa State, the Glory of all Lands. I like the way you presented your address, it is very rare to see people recognise the role played by Bayelsa State over the years in national development and growth, and you are one of those who Bayelsans will appreciate for recognizing that role, that Oloibiri brought fame and recognition to Nigeria.
It is a well known fact that Bayelsa is a very hospitable state, so we are happy that you chose Bayelsa State as a result of that topic on oil. I am sure that visits like this will give you first hand knowledge and information so that where ever you are and you hear certain issues, you will not just rush into conclusion that these people do not want Nigeria to succeed,No. What the people are asking for fairness, justice and equity.
So on behalf of the government and the people of Bayelsa State, I welcome you all to the state, have a nice time as you take on this tour.”
~ Sen. Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State, in company of Deputy Governor, Sen. Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, speaking while receiving the participants of the leadership and strategic studies course 3/2024 Nigerian Army led by Maj. Gen. Tarfa Abubakar Adamu (Rtd), at the Governor’s Conference Hall, Government House, Yenagoa.
