The King of Nembe Kingdom, Dr. Edmond Daukoru, Mingi XIII, has urged the electorate in Bayelsa State to be wary of politicians who make empty promises during
The revered monarch gave the counsel in his palace in Ogbolomabiri when Governor Douye Diri, his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo and the People’s Democratic Party campaign trail visited him to seek royal blessings ahead of the November 11 governorship election.
Daukoru equally implored his subjects to be guided in their choice of who to vote on November 11 by the visible projects they can see in their domain and not by sweet talks and fancy stories of politicians. “I’m very happy that early in your campaign you found time to visit us. I do know that you come very often to see your beloved projects, to see things for yourself. That is the way it should be. It is an assurance that the government and the community are under your view altogether as one unit and not in opposition to one another.
At the King Koko Square in Ogbolomabiri, Diri told the large crowd of party members and supporters that he was glad to return to campaign peacefully in the community where he was denied access in 2019 by gunmen who attacked and killed scores of his supporters. Also, the immediate past deputy governor of the state, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John-Jonah , said Governor Diri stood a better chance to win in Nembe because of the love he had demonstrated during his first tenure.
