Yenagoa_____ The peace loving people of Ekeni, Furupa and Ezetu of Ward 14 in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, has raised alarm over Governor Douye Diri deliberate neglect of their sons and daughters in terms of political appointment into office, describing the action of the governor as injustice, biased and paying evil for good against the people after they had massively voted for him in the 2020 Bayelsa governorship election.

Speaking to newsmen in Yenagoa on Saturday, an illustrious son of the Ward who is a PDP faithful, Double Chief. Ebi Pinapinawei, popularly known as Commander Biggy stressed that Gov. Diri should consider the sons/daughters of Ward 14 for appointment, saying the people of Ekeni, Furupa and Ezetu tirelessly worked and massively voted for him to ensure his miraculous victory at the supreme court.

Speaking further, Commander Biggy called on the leader and father of Ward 14, Dr. Michael Amaegberi to as a matter of urgency intervene on the matter and call Gov. Diri to do the needful, stressing that his lopsided appointments doesn't speak good of him. He charged the governor to balance his appointments by given Ward 14 people what belongs to them in his government, noting that he cannot pay them back evil for good they did for him during the election.

According to Ebi Pinapinawei, said: " On behalf of the good people of Ward 14, l am appealing to our miracle governor, Sen. Douye Diri to balance his political appointments by giving Ekeni, Furupa and Ezetu sons/daughters juicy appointments as well, because they worked hard and voted for him during the election. Let there be some level of fairness, justice and tranquility in terms of political appointment.

Gov. Diri should take all Bayelsans as one and give appointments accordingly, because the people of Ward 14 are always left behind in terms of political appointments. We say capital 'No' to political segregation because the whole Izon-Ebe are one."

" Commander Biggy lamented that, the most shocking thing was that, After Gov. Diri finished appointing Commissioners, we were believing him as a man of the people to equally give us appointment in subsequent time, but to our greatest surprise, when the list of appointment for SA’s was released on Friday, no  ward 14 person was among the appointees.

As regards to that effect, We the good people of ward 14 are totally disappointed in Gov. Douye Diri attitude towards us. If our votes are not valued here, then it’s high time we move to were we’ll be recognized. 

Gov. Diri should equally know that Bayelsa Senatorial Districts bye elections is around the corner, he should balance the appointments now before it is too late.

I want to categorically states that, the present governor Douye Diri's appointments in the state is lopsided and that it doesn't speak good of him and the party. We therefore, urged him to balance his appointments by looking into this matter critically.

Since ward 14 delivered bloc votes for him, the governor should equally complement our efforts by giving us appointment and not paying us back evil for good, the statement adds."

However, Commander Biggy called on ward 14 leader and father, Dr. Michael Amaegberi JP, to swing into action for justice, fairness and equity to reign. He should called Gov. Diri to order and do the needful because the people of Ward 14 gave him bloc vote during the 2020 governorship election in Bayelsa State.
