Bayelsa developmental policies people oriented–Gov’s aide

Ex-militants commend Bayelsa Governor’s performance

Group asks people to shun violence

The ex-militants in Bayelsa State have applauded the policies and programmes of the state governor, Seriake Dickson, which, the group said, had ensured peace, security and development in the state.

The spokesperson for leaders of ex-militant groups in the state, Eris Paul, gave the commendation in an interview in Yenagoa.

According to him, efforts by past administrations in the state to curb cultism, sea piracy, kidnapping, and oil theft, did not yield much result. He said the present administration had made remarkable strides in curtailing the vices.

“Before now, the state was gripped by violence and insecurity, but the present administration has brought peace and development in the last two years,” Mr. Paul said.

He said the Dickson administration had shown commitment to the development of basic infrastructure in several parts of the state.

“Dickson has done a lot; many of us had not seen a flyover in this state in the past, but we have started witnessing it in our generation; we are very much impressed. The era of violent crimes and threat to life is over. The era of cultism and armed robbery attacks is also over in the state,” Mr. Paul said.

He noted that development could not take place in an atmosphere of violence and kidnapping of contractors. He called on the people to support government and the security agencies to ensure the sustenance of the existing peace and progress in Bayelsa.

“We must ensure the security of our contractors as our development partners as they are not here to cart away our money,” he said.
