As Nigeria marks 15 years of democratic rule, Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has called on Nigerians to be supportive of the policies and programmes of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Dickson, who described Jonathan as the most democratic leader in the history of the country, expressed satisfaction with the President’s commitment, dogged disposition and adherence to democratic principles in the face of daunting security challenges.
In his Democracy Day message, the governor extolled the calm disposition and focus of President Jonathan, whom he said had continued to lead by example.
He said Jonathan had promoted the core and age long values of democracy by upholding the rule of law, freedom of speech and support for democratic institutions across the country to thrive.
He also appealed to Nigerians, especially the political class, to jettison all divisive tendencies, believe in one another and work together to move the nation to greater heights.
The governor called for mutual respect among Nigerians, noting that the present challenges, which appeared to be threatening the peace and unity of the nation were for a moment.
Dickson also called on Nigerians to use the nation’s diversity as a source of unity and build a virile and egalitarian society, where the collective strength and wishes of the people would become the driving force on which the nation could realize its true potential in all fields of human endeavour.
The Governor also urged Bayelsans to remain steadfast and believe in the ability of the administration in the state to keep track with its agenda of turning around the fortunes of the state.
He assured Bayelsans of government’s preparedness to continue to strive to live up to its responsibilities to the people of the state.
Dickson said, “May I call on Bayelsans to also pray for President Jonathan and his transformation agenda at the federal level. The President needs the prayers of the people now, more than ever before.”
