Bayelsa state Governor Dickson sworn-in

Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa has been sworn-in on Sunday for his second term in office.  

The governor dedicated his victory at the poll to the people and promised to move the state forward. 

“My victory as governor is victory for the people; this administration will continue to sustain the existing security in the state.

“We must stand for good governance and light must always triumph over darkness in Bayelsa."

Dickson also assured those present at the event that the ongoing airport project would be completed during his second term in office. He added that the security of lives and properties was also going to be a priority. 

“In the past four years, the state has witnessed transformation and we are ready to do more.

“We will consolidate and expand security in the next four years; this victory is ours and I want us to build a strong synergy to accelerate development of Bayelsa.

“I must say that my government is ready to work with the federal government in ensuring that the issue of kidnap and oil pipeline vandalism is properly checkmated.

“My advice to our people is to steer clear of encouraging or covering-up criminal acts in the state and Niger-Delta region,’’ he said.
