"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."
