…Police warns against “gate crashing”, says interactive session strictly by I.V
.. Resist attempts by some persons to use visit to score cheap political points”-Bayelsa Govt
Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo is expected to
visit Bayelsa State on Friday as part of the continuation of the Peace
tour and consultations with key youths and other stakeholders in the
Niger Delta region.
The visit is expected to be a follow up to the successful
one hosted by Delta State. He is visiting Bayelsa in his capacity as the
Acting President due to the medical vacation of the President,
Muhammadu Buhari.
The Bayelsa State Government, in a statement issued on
Thursday from the office of the State Commissioner of Information and
Orientation, Hon. Jonathan Obuebite , stated that the state Government
and the people of the State are looking forward to receiving the Acting
President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo when he visits the Glory of All Lands as
part of his tour to some states in the Niger Delta region.
According to the Statement,” we urged residents in the
state to come out en masse to welcome the nation’s number two citizen.
We assured the Vice President of the hospitality of people of the state
and urged him to use the occasion of his visit to experience same for
himself”.
The Statement also called on him to access critical areas
of the state that needs prompt intervention by the federal government,
stating that Bayelsa is the epicenter of all the issues as the home land
of the Ijaw ethnic nationality and the fact that the state is more
deltaic than Delta state and more river rine than Rivers state.
Also the government wants the visiting VP to resist every
attempt by some persons to use his visit to score cheap political points
by advancing their selfish interest which is capable of truncating the
commencement of a sustained peace process in the Niger Delta.
Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State Police Command led by
Commissioner of Police Asuquo Amba, confirmed that the Acting President
will lead a high-level delegation of the Federal Government and will
interact with traditional rulers, Eminent Bayelsans and members of
conflict resolution committees.
The Police Command also announced that the consultation and
interactive session is scheduled to hold at the DSP Alamieyeseigha
Memorial Banquet Hall, Government House, Yenagoa.
“Attendance is strictly on invitation. The Command
therefore advises all law abiding citizens to go about their lawful and
legitimate businesses, while gathering of persons not invited to the
programme, at any point within the State will not be tolerated, as
adequate security measures have been put in place to curtail activities
of miscreants”.
