Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has commended his Bayelsa State counterpart, Senator Douye Diri, for his impressive five years in office.
Fintiri praised Diri’s performance during the inauguration of a new Commissioners Quarters and a dual carriage road in the New Yenagoa City, as part of Governor Diri’s fifth anniversary celebration.
Fintiri noted that Diri’s commitment to providing infrastructure for the people demonstrates that he has their best interests at heart.
He also expressed pride in Diri’s performance on behalf of their party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said: “Anyone who provides infrastructure does so for the greatest number of the people. Senator Diri has etched his name as a governor doing wonders in Bayelsa State and has cultivated special friendship across the country and a fraternal bond within the PDP family.”
He also stated that Diri meant a lot to people of the country and that like every other PDP governor, he has rendered honest service while translating his vision into reality.
“Like every other PDP governor, Diri is delivering on his campaign promises and changing the narrative of Bayelsa with speed and precision in a manner that has never been witnessed before in the state.”
Fintiri observed that anyone that was in Yenagoa a few years ago would attest that the city was different today.
“We must therefore congratulate the people of Bayelsa for the positive transformation. It is exciting to know that this development is fairly distributed across the state. My brother, you have done what everybody knows is good for this state.
“This development has its challenges, especially in a terrain that is difficult as Bayelsa. It is a task that can only be executed by a large-hearted leader like Diri. You have not only responded to the yearnings of the people of Bayelsa but also made your party, the PDP, proud as well as your friends with this impressive score card.”
In his remarks, Governor Douye Diri expressed appreciation to the host communities of Onopa and Amarata for their peaceful conduct, which ensured the smooth delivery of the projects.
He stressed that for a city to grow like other cities in the country, it had to be properly planned.
