The Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has defended his request to the state House of Assembly for a loan facility of N2.9billion, which was last week granted by the legislature.
“We are not as rich as people think we are. A lot of people believe Bayelsa is a rich state but truly we are not. I don’t blame anybody who says that because our country runs on oil and the oil reservoir is in Bayelsa. We are like a people bathing inside the water but soap is entering into our eyes and we are looking for water from the bucket to wash our eyes.”
On his victories at the Supreme Court, the Bayelsa helmsman said God virtually came down from heaven on the day the apex court gave its verdict on the governorship tussle.“If you ask what was going through my mind; it was: ‘Is God this real? From that day, I now believe that God works miracles. That is the reason I have christened myself the Miracle Governor.”

Look someone that will govern a state. Has he grown a business that has capital base of N1billion in his entire life before.
A loan not needed for capital expenditure and human capacity development contravenes the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007.

Do these guys know the price of crude today, the forecasts for the immediate future and the portends for our economy? I think not. Continue.
You met a state with no light, no public water to drink, no good roads, abandoned/Uncompleted projects everywhere, unpaid January workers salaries n other salary arrears n insecurity at its peak, the only problem u borrow money to solved was personal effects
It's even a loan. Thought the funds were there already. Another disaster imposed on bayelsans. Our electoral laws must be reformed such that elections are won through the ballot and not decided by court.
Cash on my guy
