Grassroots Network for Change (GNC), a socio-political group in Bayelsa, has set agenda for the state Governor-Elect, Chief David Lyon as he prepares to take over the mantle of leadership on Feb. 14, 2020.
The State Deputy Coordinator of the group, Ms Diepreye Umbu, in an interview with journalists in Yenagoa on Tuesday, urged Lyon to learn from the mistakes of the outgoing government in the state.
He said this was necessary for him do something differently in order to succeed.
Umbu also advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) led next level government to consider the fight against insecurity, provision of electricity, road infrastructure, provision of employments as well as education as its priorities.
The deputy coordinator also called on the Governor-elect to prioritise provision of potable water, human capital development, civil service friendly policies and tackling of the perennial flooding of the state.
She also further urged Lyon to be magnanimous in victory and be ready to work with the people of the state, not minding their political differences.
“The governor-elect should carry everybody along because the government belongs to Bayelsans. It does not matter whether one is from APC or PDP, because the people that voted were all Bayelsans,” she said.
She also called on all aggrieved candidates and political parties that participated in the election to sheath their swords and work in tandem with the incoming government to move the state forward.
“For the incoming government to succeed, the people of Bayelsa must exhibit love and unity because we cannot grow if we don’t love ourselves.
“We must support the governor and his government and be ready to advise him rightly, not to pull him down.”
