Looking back, this government of Prosperity has completed several projects including inherited and new ones. The three Senatorial roads remain our signature projects to open up more riverine communities and connect them to the State capital.

Also, we have initiated great policies and programmes in education, health, sports, empowerment, skills acquisition and other areas for the overall good of our people.

We have prioritised the welfare and salaries of our civil servants including teachers and health workers. The outstanding gratuities to our senior citizens are being cleared over the past months and we feel strongly that the retirees deserve to enjoy their benefits while alive.

We truly mean well for our dear State.

We are confident of victory because our people appreciate good governance under our party, the PDP.

We will win because our people are with us.

Lawrence and I are here for real service to the people.

Your vote is a vote for continuity and consolidation towards building a prosperous Bayelsa State of great potential.

Happy New Week and may God continue to keep you strong!
