Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has expressed support for the re-election of Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State.
Adeleke, emphasising the importance of maintaining a winning team, stated that Diri had performed exceptionally well in delivering the dividends of democracy to the state within his first tenure of less than four years.
He made this known at the inauguration of Section 4 of the Igbogene-AIT-Elebele Outer Ring Road in Yenagoa.
Adeleke argued that continuity was what Bayelsans needed in the upcoming governorship election, as Governor Diri had already proven his worth among governors in the country.
He said, “On November 11, come out and vote for the Miracle Governor. When you vote for him, you vote for prosperity, so Bayelsa will continue to grow from strength to strength.
“That is why we are here to inaugurate this beautiful road. I know, by the special grace of God, that in his second term, he will do more.
“Democracy is at play here. Bayelsa will no longer be called a one-way in and one-way out state.
“Like a football club, when the coach has a winning team, they cannot change him. So support him by going out there and voting for our miracle governor, and remember to protect your vote.”
Speaking earlier, Governor Douye Diri said completing the road project, initiated by his predecessor, Senator Seriake Dickson, was in fulfilment of his promises to the people of the state.
He explained that the Igbogene-AIT-Elebele Outer Ring Road creates an alternative route in Yenagoa while opening up the state capital to robust infrastructure development.
“This project was initiated by the immediate past government of Senator Henry Seriake Dickson. Due to a paucity of funds, the project could not proceed as planned.
So when we came on board, we re-awarded the project for over N11 billion, and this Section 4 is the second phase we are inaugurating.
“This road is subdivided into four sections.
The Bauchi State Governor inaugurated Section 1 during our second anniversary. Today, the Governor of Osun is inaugurating the fourth section.”
The Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr Moses Teibowei, noted in his remarks that the 7.7-kilometre-long section of the road, awarded to Lubrik Construction Company on January 4, 2021, runs across Opolo and Imiringi communities.
Mr Teibowei stated that the road had a driveway of 7.5m with solar lights fully installed, adding that it would aid the delivery of goods and services to and fro the state capital, as well as the Ogbia and Nembe local government areas of the state.
