Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has declared that there is no going back on his determination to fulfil all his electioneering promises to the people of the state.
He said as part of its determination, his administration had already fulfilled some of the promises through infrastructural development.
Mr Diri said no amount of on-going political shenanigans from some politicians in the state would make the administration lose focus.
The governor, represented by his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, stated this while hosting members of his support group, Bayelsa Unite for Douye Diri (BUDD) in Government House, Yenagoa.
He said the present administration has made appreciable progress in its effort to complete the Sagbama-Ekeremor and Yenagoa-Oporoma road projects.
Mr Diri explained that as part of the benefits of continuity of government under the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, people can now drive to Angiama in Southern Ijaw and Ekeremor MainTown on asphalt.
“We are aware of the support you have been giving to us before, now and will still give to this administration going forward. So, we thank you for all you have been doing for us.
“We want to assure you and indeed the people of our state that this government will not let you down. The Senator Douye Diri administration is focused, well nurtured and prepared for leadership.
“That is why we are not disturbed despite the shenanigans and distractions that are going on. What we are doing is not by accident. It is meticulous, deliberate, concerted and determined to fulfil our promises to our people.
“On the issue of contracts, we are awarding them to contractors that we believe have the capacity and competence to complete the projects even without much funding.
“As you can see, we have completed Phase Two of the Glory Drive. So, you can actually drive from the Ecumenical Centre to the Etegwe-Tombia Road.
“You can also drive from here to Angiama in Southern Ijaw and also to Ekeremor on asphalt. We have even started earth work on the Nembe-Brass Road project,” he said.
