Governor Douye Diri
He recently had his say during separate meetings with the Bayelsa Elders Council and the 37th session of the Bayelsa State Security Council, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, he can only urge security agencies, elders, youths, and traditional rulers to remain vigilant because the government will not tolerate any act of political violence.
Diri added that any attempt to import the Rivers State political crisis into Bayelsa will be resisted.
His words, “We will resist any attempt to import the Rivers State political crisis into Bayelsa. I urge security commanders in the state to be on the alert.
Parents and traditional rulers should discourage their wards and children from being used by unscrupulous elements to cause trouble in the state.
This is not Rivers State. Bayelsa is the cradle of every Ijaw man. I have always said that being peaceful is not cowardice. We are very courageous, and we can stand up for the truth at all times.”
WOW.
