Group Celebrates Emergence Of Akpe As Bayelsa Dep Gov

The Bayelsa State chapter of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), has congratulated Dr Peter Akpe on his emergence as the new deputy governor of the state.

The state coordinator, Timipa Tiwei Orunimighe, also commended the state governor, Douye Diri, for his choice of Akpe describing it as a strategic decision.

Orunimighe in a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary, Engr Udengs Eradiri, said Akpe with his experience as a former lawmaker and Chief of Staff to the governor was qualified for the position.

Describing Akpe as a grassroots politician, a seasoned educator and a political strategist, Orunimighe said there was no doubt that the new deputy governor would help the Prosperity Administration of Diri to finish strong.

Orunimighe noted the jubilation that accompanied Akpe’s choice, saying it was evidence of his wide acceptance by majority of the stakeholders across the state.

He particularly noted that the appointment of Akpe would help to deepen the penetration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and drive the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.

He said, “We at the Renewed Hope Ambassadors congratulate the emergence of Dr Peter Akpe as the new deputy governor of Bayelsa State.

“It is heartwarming that a grassroots politician, who had garnered experience as a scholar, a former member of the House of Assembly and immediate past Chief of Staff to the governor was favoured for this important position at this time.”
