Governor Oborevwori in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, in Asaba on Wednesday, said that Diri’s emergence for another term in office was epoch-making.
He lauded Diri for his Prosperity vision for Bayelsans which, according to him, would engender the sustainable growth and development of the state.

He commended Diri for his message of unity and for deepening transparency and accountability in governance.
He said: “On behalf of the government and people of Delta, I congratulate Governor Diri and his amiable and loyal Deputy, Senator Ewhrudjakpor, on their inauguration for second term in office for a second term.
“The Bayelsa Governorship election of November 11, 2023, testified to your undying and patriotic resolve to put the interest of the people before other primordial ones.
“I am impressed and encouraged by your call for a united Bayelsa state, going into to your second term in office. The call is germane because no society can develop in an atmosphere of disunity.
