Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has said that the achievements of his administration were largely made possible by the loyalty and support of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Dickson stated this while addressing party faithful during the monthly PDP meeting at the party’s secretariat in Yenagoa.
He stressed the need for the people of the state to rally round his administration to build a strong and united support base for President Goodluck Jonathan to succeed at the federal level.
While calling on the people not to place their selfish interests over and above the general good, Dickson noted that, though 2014 is a political year, the people should not be distracted but join government in delivering the dividends of democracy.
According to the governor, the effectiveness of government is measured by the positive impact being made on the overall wellbeing of the generality of the citizenry.
“When you see us do what we have been able to do, taking over government at a difficult and trying period and within this short period, we have been able to put so much on ground for people to see and it is like that in every local government area. When I went on tour in the process of inspecting and commissioning projects, I was shocked at the type of things we have put on ground.
“This is not just in Yenagoa Local Government Area, our state capital.
But as I stepped out to the local government areas, I discovered that, there is no council that does not have 25 or 50 projects going on of different types and we have just started. And we need to consolidate on the good works we are doing and we have been able to achieve this by the grace of God and with the support of all of you.”
