    A support group in the Bayelsa chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Yes Diri says it has commenced activities to drum up support for Gov Douye Diri’s re-election ahead the Nov. 11 governorship poll.

    Speaking at a news conference to showcase the activities of the group, Dr Gente Emelah, Director General of the group noted that Yes Diri is open to lovers of good governance and development personified by Diri.

    He said that the group which draws membership from some serving members of the cabinet and private individuals is funded by voluntary donation from members.

    He explained that the campaign Secretariate scheduled for inauguration on Thursday would coordinate activities of the group from the eight Local Government Areas of the state.

    He said that mobilising the electorates for Diri’s re-election has been made easy following the numerous developmental projects across the sectors.

    “Our principal, Gov Douye Diri has made so much impact with the three senatorial districts and roads connecting rural communities that were hitherto not accessible by road.

    “He has also ensured peace and security across the state and laid a solid foundation for industrialisation of the state in the next four years.

    “In the educational sector the government under Diri’s watch has introduced technology into teaching at primary schools, at the secondary level we are concluding arrangements with Microsoft for technology driven learning in our secondary schools.

    “At the tertiary level all the courses at all our institutions now have full accreditation and that was made possible by the current administration, Al these make Diri so easy to market,” Emelah said.

    Emelah also explained that
    the group would not fizzle out after the elections as there are plans to continue to promote Diri’s political ideals of peace and love in politic by Yes Diri group.

    According to him, the group was putting together a book on Diri’s first four years in governance to contribute to knowledge in the field of politics.

    Other leaders of the support group include Chief Esau Andrew Commissioner for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Chief Ekisah Sinkumo Commissioner for Special Projects, Chief Iti Irugbani Commissioner for Tourism and Hospitality.
