Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has said his administration will always abide by the 1999 Constitution by respecting the fundamental rights of individuals, but will ensure that the prevailing peace and security of the state are not compromised.

The governor stated this against the backdrop of the visit of the wife of the president, Mrs. Remi Tinubu, to the state on Thursday.

Gov. Diri stated this on Wednesday at the 158th State Executive Council meeting held at the Government House, Yenagoa.

The governor explained that his administration will not stop any group from holding rallies in the state, but emphasised that it will be unwise and counter-productive at a time lasting peace was being sought to address the political crisis in Rivers State.

He noted that Rivers and Bayelsa were sister states and that whatever happened in Rivers had a ripple effect in Bayelsa, and enjoined well-meaning Bayelsans to work with the state government in maintaining law and order in the state.

“Let me make this clear. We are not a government that goes against the rule of law. We cherish and protect the constitution of Nigeria. And in so doing, we abide by every bit of the constitution.

“A state of emergency has been imposed in Rivers State. President Bola Tinubu has the power to do so. All we can do from our end is to see how we can bring lasting peace to Rivers State.

“Bayelsa and Rivers are sister states and whatever happens there has some degree of effect on our state and vice versa. And then some persons say they want to hold a mega rally and all that here.

“We are not yet in a political season. l am not stopping anybody from exercising their fundamental human rights, but as the chief security officer of the state and with information at my disposal, we must keep the peace of the state.

“Nobody should come and rock the peace and security of this state,” he said.

The governor noted that the proper protocol for such rallies should be followed by first informing the state government, just as the first lady had done about her visit to the state on Thursday on the invitation of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

He urged people of the state to turn out en masse to accord the first lady a rousing reception.
