Bayelsa@30:Celebrating Legacies
Former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, is a true son of Bayelsa State and Ijaw land.
This much came to the fore when he was speaking about the 30th anniversary of the creation of the state. A man of history, Dr. Jonathan, succinctly put it, “Bayelsa today, has made steady progress. I am a witness to history and I know the agitation and struggle of our people for an Ijaw identity. Bayelsa started from nothing, absolutely, nothing and seeing what we have grown to be now, I am happy.”
Dr. Jonathan, who is a former Governor spoke about his vision for the three Senatorial Roads commencing with the Ekoli bridge at Swali and commended Governor Douye Diri, for his impact in the past few years.
Accordingly, the future of Bayelsa State is bright with sustenance of peace and unity among the citizens.
