The deputy governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, has felicitated with his boss, Governor Douye Diri, as he turned 63 on Saturday.
In a congratulatory message signed by his senior special assistant on Media, Mr. Doubara Atasi, the deputy governor, said Senator Diri’s 63rd birthday offers a truly unique and rare opportunity to reflect on his trajectory as a champion of silent yet impactful revolution on all frontiers of development in the state.
Describing Governor Diri as ‘Champion of Prosperity’ and a great leader whose heart holds “a vast reservoir of love towards all Bayelsans, irrespective of party affiliations,” he said having the celebrant as his boss is one of the best things that had ever happened to him.
Ewhrudjakpo pointed out that the landmark achievements the Prosperity administration had made under Governor Diri in a little over two years, offer an eloquent testimony of a man with the right zeal to change the narrative of development in Bayelsa.
He thus called on the people of Bayelsa to rally behind the state’s helmsman to consolidate on the gains made in human capital and infrastructural development as well as enhance peace and security.
Senator Ewhrudjakpo, who applauded his boss for making Bayelsa proud through his “flawless and excellent handling of the screening of aspirants for the recent PDP primaries,” said his role in the just-concluded National Convention gives a stamp of credibility to his political astuteness and accommodating leadership mien.
He therefore prayed the God to continue to protect the governor and his family, and “open unto him the heavenly portals of wisdom to enable him effectively navigate the ship of leadership that will take Bayelsa to a safer and more prosperous destination.”
