Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has appealed to the Federal Government to implement Monday’s Federal High Court judgment ordering

Diri made the appeal in his first public reaction to the judgment, yesterday, at the Government House, Yenagoa.

“We believe that governments are one and the same and we have the task of protecting and bringing peace to our country. Litigations would not bind us together. But what is right is right. Clearly, the money is due to Bayelsa State by the constitution and the 13 per cent derivation.” He acknowledged that disagreements were part of co-existence, noting that such should be peacefully settled in the spirit of brotherhood.While stating that meaningful development would not take place in the absence of peace, he canvassed an end to conflicts that could lead to the destruction of life and property in the state.
