Governor Douye Diri has vowed to depose any traditional ruler in Bayelsa who allows politicians to intimidate voters during the February and March general elections.

He assured the people that the presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has what it takes to reposition the country.
He said, “As for traditional rulers, anyone who allows politicians to deprive other people of exercising their civic right would be dealt with. Traditional rulers should desist from partisan politics, and youth should not allow themselves to be used as an instrument of violence,” Mr Diri stated. “Our party will continue to bring development, infrastructures, and human capital development in our dear state. I, therefore, urge you to give your mandate to PDP for more dividends of democracy.”
