My Dear People of Bayelsa State:
Today we celebrate the re-affirmation of our Will to work collectively for a United, Secure and Prosperous Bayelsa State.
Together we celebrate a collective victory that strings all political tendencies together in democratic renaissance.
Projecting ourselves from the Southern-most tip of Nigeria we have broken the continental shelf to launch Nigeria into the deep and calm waters of electoral integrity. From the creeks of Bayelsa we have given the gift of peaceful, free and fair elections to Nigeria!
"The vision I share with all Bayelsans is the creation of a prosperous, secure and unified Bayelsa State.
"Prosperity means ensuring access to good quality health care and education services are equally available to all Bayelsans.
"A secure environment will exist where personal safety and security of property are enjoyed by all members of society in a peaceful setting.
Where ethnic heritage is respected, celebrated and binds us together there will be unity.
"The people of Bayelsa State will enjoy affordable housing, comprehensive education, high standards in health care, job training and expanding opportunities for employment.
"We will work together to build a state with a thriving economy that will provide not only for our current needs but will ensure a secure and prosperous future for our children and all future generations."
Timipre Sylva
Executive Governor
Bayelsa State
