Settle Down and Work After Winning Elections: Umahi

 

The Minister of Works , Chief Dave Umahi,  has advised Political Office Holders to immediately settle down and work for development and  good governance after winning elections.

Umahi who is the immediate past governor of Ebonyi State was speaking on Tuesday in Yenagoa when he visited Governor Douye Diri.

He also saluted the efforts of the  Diri-led administration at developing Bayelsa in the last three years.

A statement by a media aide to the Bayelsa Deputy Governor  Doubara Atasi, stated that Umahi expressed delight at the level of development in Bayelsa within the last three years.

 He appreciated the Governor and his deputy for making him and others proud for their various roles in ensuring Diri's victory under the Peoples Democratic Party.

"First, let me confess that we couldn't recognize Bayelsa  when we came in. When we came to conduct your election, this place was really looking like a village. But today, the story has changed. I don't regret the role I played when I was with you in PDP.

"You have done extremely very well. May God bless you. This is what we are talking about that after election, people should actually settle down to work for development and ensure good governance. 

That the moment elections are over, we should forget about our parties and work for the good of the citizenry.

Responding, Governor Diri who was represented by his Deputy,  Ewhrudjakpo, appreciated his visit and his kind words of encouragement and support.

He commended the Minister of Works, Chief Umahi for his development strides in Ebonyi State and expressed readiness to work closely with the federal government in building critical infrastructures in the state such as roads and the Agge Seaport
