Governor Diri stated this at Ekowe community when he paid courtesy visit to the Ibenanawei of Bomo clan, King Joshua Igbugburu and other paramount rulers of the kingdom who gathered at the palace.

He also said his administration would award the contract for construction of the next phase of the project from Aguobiri to Eniwari community.

He said: “For us, Bomo clan is our home because this is not the first time we are coming for your royal blessings. You have been very kind to us. We came to receive your blessings as usual. You are one king who has held on to God firmly and we want to continue to wish you a successful reign.

“In almost four years of our administration, we have embarked on projects that touch lives, particularly the Yenagoa-Oporoma-Ukubie road, which everyone is happy about. We need to fast-track development of the state.

“When you give me your mandate for a second term, by next year we will drive to Oporoma because that is the target given to us. Thereafter, we will also award the next phase of the project from Aguobiri to Eniwari community.”

The governor said his passion for providing road infrastructure was borne out of the need to accelerate the pace of development, particularly in the rural areas and improve the living standards of the people.

At the palace, Diri offered scholarship to Princess Diseye Tombie to university level after the young girl did a beautiful presentation on the Yenagoa-Oporoma road and other projects of the prosperity administration.

In his remarks, spokesman of the Bomo Council of Chiefs, Dr Sample Koko, commended the governor’s development strides and assured him and his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, of victory in the November 11 poll.

Both received royal blessings from King Igbugburu and were each presented a copy of the Bible. Diri also laid the foundation of a new palace for the monarch.
