Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa,
on Tuesday inaugurated a 41-member Transition Committee in readiness for the
inauguration of the incoming administration.
David Lyon of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) won the Nov. 16 governorship election and is slated to assume
office on February 14, 2020.
The committee which has the
Secretary to the State Government, Mr Kemela Okara, as Chairman, also has Mr
Talford Ongolo as Deputy Chairman and Mr Luka Obiri as Secretary.
Members of the committee, which
includes all serving Commissioners, five Permanent Secretaries and political
appointees were inaugurated on Tuesday at the Governor’s Conference Room,
Government House, Yenagoa.
A statement by Fidelis Soriwei,
Dickson’s Chief Press Secretary, said the constitution of the Transition
Committee was in line with the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
Dickson noted that irrespective
of the outcome of the several initiatives being taken by the PDP, there was
still need for a proper handover process to be initiated.
“Knowing that what transpired is
not an election, we have to set up a transition committee for the first time in
our democratic rule.
“I thank God for the grace and
enablement for making this possible for eight years and with a lot of
achievements,” Dickson said.
