Newly inaugurated Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri has promised to run an all-inclusive government in the state.
He also asked for the support of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the last election, David Lyon, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva and former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Diri extended his hand of fellowship during a thanksgiving service in Yenagoa on Sunday.
“I will be Governor of all, be it PDP, APC and others. We must remain united and ensure peace in our land,” he added.
“That is the only time we can be talking of development. Let us work together.”
Diri said he was willing to consider even members of the opposition parties for appointments.
The former lawmaker, however, warned against all forms of crimes in the state, saying his administration would go tough on criminals.
“Our administration will not condone crime and criminality. No development can take place in an atmosphere devoid of peace,” he said.
