Former Chief Whip of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Hon. Dr. Jonathan Obuebite has assured the people of Nembe Local Government Area of the resolve of Governor Douye Diri to fulfil all pre-election promises on completion of ongoing infrastructural projects in the area.
Hon. Jonathan Obuebite gave the assurance on Wednesday while playing host to Stakeholders, Traditional Chiefs, Youths, Women and members of the People’s Democratic Party from Nembe Local Government Area to celebrate the victory of the Governor of Bayelsa State, His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri and his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo at his Yenagoa residence.
Dr. Obuebite, who is also the Leader of the Wind Dynasty, noted that Governor Diri is a man of peace and has never failed in keeping to his promise on development, security and empowerment, declaring that he will fulfill his promise on infrastructural development above all other considerations.
He described the victory at the poll as a collective one and used the moment of jubilation to plead for God’s guidance and support from all and sundry for the Governor Diri, towards giving his best to justify the confidence the electorates repose in him as their re-elected governor as noted in his acceptance speech.
Dr. Obuebite therefore, solicited the cooperation of the stakeholders, chiefs, traditional rulers, politicians within Nembe LGA to jettison politics of envy, bitterness, violence, pull-down syndrome and support the Governor to achieve his desired results for the people of the state and especially Nembe Kingdom.
According to Obuebite, “This celebration is to first, thank God for the victory of our Governor, Sen. Douye Diri, and to also thank God for saving my life and that of my brother, the Otita 1, Hon. Gabriel Jonah.”
“Secondly, to thank God that all attempts to lie against me by some notable politicians in Nembe in a bid to stop me and my supporters from voting and mobilizing support for our governor during the election failed.
He also appreciated the gallant and fatherly contributions of the former State Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah Rtd, to the success achieved in the election in Nembe Constituency one.
He pleaded with the people of Nembe LGA to embrace the governor, Sen. Douye Diri, who showed them love when they showed him hate, who gave them peace, when they unleashed violence on his supporters. Stating that the circle of violence and killing amongst ourselves because of politics must end and that the governor has always been magnanimous in victory.
Obuebite appreciated his brother, the leader of Otita Force, Hon. Gabriel Jonah for his show of love and brotherhood. Their bond is for the good of their followers and Nembe Kingdom. They will support the government and Nembe people and always stand for what is right and just.
He thanked the Bayelsa Commissioner for Agriculture, Hon. David Alagoa, Commissioner for Culture, Hon. Dr. Iti Orugbani, Special Adviser on Local Government Affairs, Chief. Walter Benwari and others who came and in turn spoke and appreciated him for having a reason for the first time to bring together in an occasion, notable leaders and
chiefs both from Nembe City and Opu-Nembe
He thanked the immediate past chairman of Nembe LGA, Hon. Alalibo West and others who joined him in celebrating the victory of the governor, deputy governor, and indeed all Bayelsans.
