Today, we are seeing the completion of the first phase with street lights on it. We can only but give thanks to God, we can only but give thanks to the immediate past Governor whose vision today has seen the completion of this road.

And that is the beauty of continuuty, this is the first time in this state that government is moving from one hand to another and projects started are being completed and not abandoned. My dear people of Bayelsa, that is the only way our resources will not be wasted, if I came in, seeing this very all important road, and abandoned it and go to construct a new one, the resources that were put in here by my predecessor would have been wasted. So I like to appreciate all of you that put in your best for this road to be completed, Gov. Diri stated.

He is not a green horn, he came to governance and took it by storm, and you can see the spirit of continuity enshrining in Bayelsa. And in terms of peer review, all of us, the second term Governors and the new ones, we are borrowing so much from him.”
