The Director of Strategic Communication and Documentation at the Bayelsa State Government House, Mr. Justice Joffa, has rated the administration of Governor Douye Diri high in the area of security, peace and good governance.
Joffa explained that though the Diri administration was faced with challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, election litigations, the hand of God had steered the state over the worst situation through humane and people-centred leadership.
The aide said in a statement on Saturday that God had indeed shown the present administration in the state His faithfulness in the presence of adversaries and adversities.
He said: “Unlike most other states in Nigeria, the Douye Diri government suffered from twin pandemics, simultaneously – the Covid-19 pandemic and pandemic of election litigations.
“Despite the challenges and turbulence that have severely hindered the workings of the administration, it is evident that the hand of God has steered Bayelsa State over the worst part, through humane and people-centred leadership. God has indeed shown faithfulness in the presence of adversaries and adversities.
“It is gratifying to note that Diri’s temperance, accommodation, peaceable disposition, love and reconciliation helped cultivate an environment that is conducive for inclusive growth and development of our beloved state.”
Joffa noted that the good people of Bayelsa State are already experiencing prosperity under Diri, adding that the administration had provided a peaceful, stable and conducive environment for investors in Bayelsa while the state is currently a construction hub for infrastructure development.
