At the meeting with the community’s representatives led by the Senator that represented Bayelsa East in the 9th Senate, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, the governor said the panel’s only terms of reference is to ensure peace in Bassambiri that transcended party politics, oil and gas issues and bring about unity and oneness among people of the local government.

In his acceptance speech, Vice Admiral Ombu (Rtd) said he accepted the assignment in deference to the governor and acknowledged that it was a huge task ahead of him and other members of the committee.
