Former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Matters and Social Events, Dr Waripamowei Dudafa has praised the Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri on his formal defection to the All Progressives Congress(APC).
Dudafa who is also a former member of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly and one time commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Development described the governor’s decision as a wise and well-considered move that aligns the State with the centre for accelerated development and greater political inclusion.
He said: “Governor Diri’s decision reflects his pragmatic leadership style which has always been guided by consultation, inclusiveness, and the pursuit of the common good.
“Your Excellency, your decision to work in harmony with the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu which is in synergy with your ‘Assured Prosperity’ vision will undoubtedly bring about the needed transformation and development for the people of Bayelsa State and the Niger Delta at large.”
He further praised the governor’s performance in office, stating that Diri’s administration has been characterized by purposeful governance and tangible results.
He added: “Since assuming office, your guiding principle has been clear and consistent — to consult widely, act in the public interest, and deliver measurable development outcomes. That same principle has informed your latest political alignment, and it will continue to serve as a compass for your Assured Prosperity Administration”.
He reaffirmed his continued loyalty and support for the governor, assuring that he and his associates will keep identifying with the Diri’s administration in the collective effort to sustain peace, unity, and progress in the state.
He restated that he shall continue to stand by the governor’s leadership and lend his support to ensure that he finishes strong.
