… As Monarch Cautions Over Re-Appointment Of Sylva’s Aides
The traditional ruler of Iduwini kingdom in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, His Royal Highness Nekidie Deca, has cautioned Governor Seriake Dickson against re-appointing aides to former Governor Timipre Sylva into positions of trust.
Chatting with newsmen in Yenagoa, King Deca said the governor should be careful in his choice of appointees and re-appointing friends of the former governor who may still be loyal to their principal, stressing that giving them positions in the new administration would amount to betrayal of trust in which the generality of Bayelsans bestowed on him.
According to him, the drive to reposition Bayelsa would not be achieved if he recycled those who had brought the state to this sorry situation, saying that the public expected him to distance himself from Sylva’s aides who plundered the state.
.While congratulating Dickson on his electoral victory during the gubernatorial election, Deca also advised the governor to immediately begin to tackle the issue of development with emphasis on road construction.
He pointed out that the major problem with the development of Bayelsa State was the absence of road network and that the construction of the three senatorial roads was key to the development of the state.
The monarch lamented that previous administrations had failed to address the issue frontally, hence, many years after the creation of the state, many Bayelsans cannot yet travel to their villages by car.
According to him, the construction of roads was also important to his people who have had to suffer the pain of coming to their own state through Warri due to the absence of road network in Ekeremor Local Government Area.
He disclosed that the absence of roads also meant that farm produce and fish from the area do not come into Yenagoa and other parts of the state thereby compounding the problem of food security which is critical in the state.
Deca further stated the need for Dickson to learn from the mistakes of his predecessor who refused to heed advice and also keep promises he had made to the people of Bayelsa State during his electioneering campaign.
