…Dedicates Certificate To Bayelsans
…thanks President Tinubu, security, INEC for allowing free, fair elections
“Today is one historic day for me, my Deputy, and the people of Bayelsa State. I want to appreciate the electorate, the people of Bayelsa State, for standing behind what they believe was a government that has performed and must go into a second tenure to conclude all that we have done, and to do more.
They did not only vote but stood by their votes, and that is why we can stand here today as Governor, and as Deputy Governor.
Our victory today is dedicated to the people of Bayelsa State. They are indeed the worthy recipients of this certificate for their good work.
I also want to thank the security agencies, for stopping all the candidates from engaging in violence of any kind and from rigging the election with violent behaviours.
I thank the INEC in Bayelsa at all levels for ensuring a transparent, free and fair election in Bayelsa. For standing your ground, and ensuring that you were used as a tool to thwart the will and mandate of the people.
Thank you to my party leadership and the campaign council for all the support throughout the campaigns even as we moved from community to community, even during and after the elections.
Lastly, I want to thank the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Tinubu, for allowing free and fair elections to be conducted in Bayelsa State.
Thank you and God bless you all.”
~Sen. Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State, speaking while receiving his Certificate of Return for the just concluded Bayelsa Gubernatorial Election from INEC National Commissioner, May Agbamuche-Mbu, at the State INEC office, Yenagoa.
