The PDP Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF) has congratulated Gov. Douye Diri of Bayelsa on his re-election.
The forum Chairman, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, in Abuja on Monday, attributed Diri’s victory to his good stewardship during his first tenure in office.
Mohammed described it as a well fought and well deserved victory.
“A victory and validation for hard work, good governance engendered by enthroning a culture of peaceful coexistence, unity, progressive and people oriented, and people driven agenda,” he said.
Mohammed commended Diri for his fair mindedness and even spread of infrastructural projects to all sections and segments of the state in his first term.
He also commended Diri’s peace initiatives across Bayelsa and the PDP immediately on assumption of office in 2019.
This, according to Mohammed, created the enabling environment for his developmental projects and programmes to thrive.
“We are confident that Diri would continue to deliver life changing dividends of democracy to the indigenes and residents of the state, who affirmed their choice by voting for him again at the polls,“ he said.
Mohammed commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for ensuring the integrity of the election through the proper usage of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) in instilling public confidence in the electoral process.
Mohammed, however, urged the Bayelsa governor to continue his famed magnanimity in victory.
He also appreciated the people of Bayelsa for taking their destiny in their hands by their massive support for their beloved son in the election.
He also expressed the forum’s appreciation to all PDP governors for the massive backing to Diri before and on the day of the election.
Mohammed appreciated the physical presence in solidarity, led by the Chairman PDP Bayelsa Presidential Campaign, Gov. Kefas Agbu of Taraba, Governors Oborevwori of Delta, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa and Godwin Obaseki of Edo.
