While thanking the Management and Staff of The Sun Newspapers for honouring Governor Diri with the Award, the Deputy Governor prayed God to bless him with sound wisdom and divine protection to fully accomplish the mandate thrust on him by the people of the state.
He said: “Your Excellency, it is remarkable that this Governor of the Year award from the reputable Sun Newspapers climaxes with your third anniversary in office, which is a few days away.
“And it is justifiably a true recognition of your hardwork and commitment to the development of the State, amply expressed through the strides made in governance in the Glory of All Lands
“Your Excellency, there is no gainsaying that this Sun Newspaper Award (honour) is a true reflection of your scorecard of stewardship to the good people of Bayelsa State, and a great source of motivation to spur not only you, but your entire Prosperity Team to put in more for our dear State.
