ODAHIEKWU OGUNDE, Yenagoa
Youths from Bayelsa State cutting across the eight local government areas of the state says
Governor Douye Diri’s leadership is all-inclusive and commended him for that.
The youth said the action had translated into youth empowerment and security of lives and property.
They have, therefore, planned to embark on a solidarity march to thank the governor for carrying them along in the governance of the state.
According to them, out of over 2,000 appointments given to indigenes of the state under the Diri administration, the governor has given priority to young and vibrant youths.
They said the development had contributed greatly to the peaceful atmosphere being witnessed in the state.
Speaking on behalf of the youth, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe, a former Director-General of the Douye Diri/Lawrence Youth Network, described the recent confirmation of the appointments of the Chairmen of the State Vigilante Service and State Volunteer Service, Doubiye Alagoa and Lucky Asanakpo respectively as well deserved.
He also noted that the appointments of Williams Ebifate from Brass LGA, Doris Alagoa from Nembe LGA, Kelvin Teikakpo from Ekeremor LGA, and Doubra Duere from Southern Ijaw LGA had a show of appreciation to the youth for their contributions in sustaining the existing peace and security his government had instituted.
Ekerefe said: “Governor Douye Diri’s rare decision to appoint vibrant and competent youths into his administration is commendable and the youths of the state remain eternally grateful to his fatherly disposition.
“Let me also appreciate the governor for his unique style of governance. He has built bridges of brotherhood among stakeholders of the state irrespective of political persuasions for the overall development of the only homogeneous Ijaw-speaking state.
“This is highly commendable. His good intentions and liberal leadership style is known to all and we are duty-bound as youths to support him and his government to succeed.”
Ekerefe, who is also the National Spokesman for the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), promised that in no distant time, the youth of the state would come out in their numbers on a solidarity march to the Governor in appreciation for his achievements.
He said despite the dwindling finances from the federal allocation, the governor had instituted a prosperity agenda that is benefitting all ‘Bayelsans’.
