Calls on Governor Diri
The youth leader also appealed to Governor Douye Diri to restore electricity to Amarata, noting that the community has remained without power for several years despite hosting key government institutions.
According to him, Amarata is home to the Bayelsa Medical University, the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, banks, filling stations, supermarkets and numerous businesses that require stable electricity to operate effectively.
He also urged the state government to:
Restore electricity to Amarata.
Clear the Epie Creek ahead of the flood season.
Construct additional link roads.
Increase security patrols in the area.
Appoint qualified Amarata indigenes into government positions under the ASSURED Prosperity Administration.
Izibeya recalled that Amarata was once notorious for cult violence and criminal activities but said the security situation has improved remarkably.
He warned cult groups that previously terrorised the community to stay away or face the full weight of the law.
“We want the peace we are enjoying today to be sustained. Anyone planning to return Amarata to violence should leave now or be prepared to face prosecution,” he warned.
