Mrs Happiness Godsent, a business woman, on Friday said she would vote for Gov. Douye Diri in the Nov. 11 election “because when he became governor, with His Church heart, he brought peace to Bayelsa”.
Godsent told NAN on Friday in Yenagoa that “the governor has been there for the people of Bayelsa and has ensured peaceful coexistence among citizens”.
“This governor is someone that has time for the people. Since he became governor, we have been having peace in the state.
“Before he came on board, we used to run up and down. Since he came in, we can move around without fear.
“Now, I can do my business till 11 p.m. with my mind at peace. Before he came, the latest we could stay was 9 p.m. with fear and the street shaking.
“He has really made things easy for us. As you can see, tomorrow is election day and we are all prepared for it as we move around freely.
“The people can now move with confidence without being molested.”
She said that the governor also ensured they had good roads, adding that in the past, one usually found it difficult to walk on the streets as the roads were not tarred.
“This Azikoro road is a route that vehicles could not move on, but now it is motorable. Cars are plying it. Everywhere looks good.
“The roads are now tarred with street lights. He really tried. That is why I am going to vote for him.
“I came to Bayelsa since 2002 and I know how these boys were behaving. We used to run up and down but things have changed now. The running around has stopped.
“A lot of things were happening in other places, but in Bayelsa, he calmed a lot of things.
“Even if the boys want to create a scene, he tells them that he is the governor and they usually listen,” she said.
She also credited Diri with paying salaries regularly.
“He pays salaries regularly. That makes business to move very fast.
