This morning, I received with sadness the news of the passing of our father and foremost leader of Ijaw ethnic nationality, Chief (Dr.) Senator Edwin Kiagbodo Clark. The Ijaw nation has lost its father-figure and irrepressible voice. Chief Clark was an icon, a treasure of inestimable value and a nationalist par excellence. He was a distinguished patriot, who dedicated his whole life to the service of Nigeria. Until the very end, he was unrelenting. As the Ijaw nation reflects on the passage of this exceptional sage, we take solace in his matchless contributions to national development. On behalf of the Ijaw nation, the government and people of Bayelsa State, I express heartfelt condolences to the Clark family of Kiagbodo in Burutu Local Government Area and the Delta State government. I pray the Lord grants the family and indeed the Ijaw nation the grace to bear this great loss. I have consequently directed that all flags in the state fly at half-mast for three days while all our government’s fifth anniversary activities remain suspended for the same period. e-Signed: Senator Douye Diri Governor, Bayelsa State

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High". ~Psalm 92:1 On the 13th of February, 2020, God showed up in our Governorship bid with that Supreme Court pronouncement. His Excellency, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo and I, are truly the Miracle Deputy Governor and Governor respectively. And as we celebrate our 5th year in office, we again acknowledge the hand of God in our emergence and in the life of the Prosperity Administration. I am glad to extend invitation to our good people of Bayelsa State, friends and allies, to join us this morning at the Ecumenical Centre, Igbogene, for our 5th Anniversary Thanksgiving by 11am. We shall continue to rededicate Bayelsa State to Almighty God for the steady progress in the State.

Happy New Month Bayelsa! I welcome you all to the month of March, 2024. A great month I see ahead!

On behalf of my family and the Prosperity Government, I congratulate our leader and brother, the immediate past Governor of Bayelsa State, and current Senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District, His Excellency, Sen.

I join the host of well-wishers to celebrate this great son of the Ijaw Nation and a front-runner of our collective desire as an ethnic nationality and a State. I wish you many more impactful years in sound health. Congratulations and Happy Birthday, Your Excellency!
