The Failed APC Candidate and the Call for Unity: In the aftermath of the gubernatorial election, the defeated APC candidate and his cohorts have continued to exhibit a disposition of defiance and resentment towards the incumbent administration. However, the time has come for all political actors to prioritize the collective interest of Bayelsa State above personal ambitions and partisan bickering. 

Governor Diri's administration extends an olive branch to the remnants of the APC, urging them to set aside their grievances and embrace a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration. Together, we can harness the collective wisdom and resources of all stakeholders to chart a course towards sustainable development and progress.

 As custodians of this divine mandate, it is incumbent upon all Bayelsans to rally behind Governor Diri and support his administration in realizing the collective aspirations of our state.

 A Call for Unity and Stability: In the face of concerted efforts by disgruntled elements within the APC to undermine Governor Diri's leadership, it is imperative for all well-meaning Bayelsans to stand firm in defense of our democratic ideals and the rule of law. The attempts to destabilize our state through acts of political subterfuge and sabotage must be met with unwavering resolve and unity. Governor Diri's administration remains resolute in its commitment to upholding the principles of transparency, accountability, and justice, regardless of the challenges posed by detractors and naysayers.
