Living Mitin, representing Ekeremor Constituency 2 in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, has knocked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for scrapping the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
This was as he praised Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State's approval of N80,000 minimum wage for Bayelsa civil servants.
But condemning the scrapping of Niger Delta Ministry, Mitin described the move as insincere, citing the establishment of a Ministry of Livestocks as unnecessary and burdensome to the economy.
Mitin questioned the government's claim of reducing the cost of governance, pointing out that the appointment of seven new ministers after sacking five was not in order.
He expressed the believe that the move was targeted towards individuals who disagreed with government's policies.
The statement reads:" The federal government's actions demonstrates lack of interest in developing the area."
"The non- completion of East West road and the poor condition of the Warri-Benin axis as examples."
" I also praise Governor Douye Diri's approval of N80,000 minimum wage for Bayelsa civil servants. That shows that he is a man of peace and a compassionate leader."
"Also his people-friendly approach, payment of pensioners, and ongoing developmental projects show he is a good man."
Mitin advised Bayelsans to continue supporting Diri's government, emphasizing the importance of peace for the completion of legacy projects.
He said that the governor Governor Diri had previously set up a committee to work out modalities for implementing a new minimum wage for workers in the state civil service.
