Security agents however brought the situation under control and paved the way for the swearing in of Diri as the fifth civilian governor of the state.Moments after the ceremony, the police imposed a three day curfew on the state to check further violence. “We passionately appeal to the law enforcement agencies to investigate the mayhem and bring the culprits to book. Meanwhile, we know some staff who were so irked at the Supreme Court judgment that they even shut down the generator under the guise of RATTAWU/NUJ unionism.”
She further appealed to the people of the state to extend such prayers to the new government to lead a successful administration.Diri, in his first address to the people of Bayelsa, called for a minute silence for those who were killed in the violence that erupted during the PDP campaign in Nembe Local Government Area.
“Therefore, let us eschew bitterness and acrimony and learn to love ourselves whether of the same party or different parties. Primarily, we are brothers and sisters from Bayelsa State. “As governor, the responsibility of building hope and sustaining peace across the state now lies on your shoulders. I urge you to always bear in mind that you are the governor of all Bayelsans and to seize this moment of glory to build bridges of unity by entrenching a culture of love, fairness and justice in our polity.
