In his words: “In the last two years, we have closely followed your leadership style and we are greatly impressed on how you have made Bayelsa the desired destination of many.

“Aside supporting security agencies to effectively combat crime and criminality, you have reduced the political tension in the state which used to be a major cause for clashes and inter-party rivalry.”

The ex- commissioner recalled how Diri invited some members of the opposition party in the state to join him and other leaders for the maiden commercial flight to Bayelsa International Airport.

“Clearly, you have demonstrated that as a people, politics shouldn’t bring about division. In addition to that, you have set a new record that as a governor you do not only serve members of your party but the general interest of the State.

The award was given to Gov Diri by FirstNews.
