Dickson warns criminals to leave

Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson has warned criminals to leave.

He said they must leave the state this year or face his wrath.

Dickson, who spoke at an interdenominational crossover church service in his hometown, Toru Orua,  said he would do everything to ensure peace in the new year.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Francis Agbo, said he would take action against criminals to guarantee security, for development to thrive.

He described 2018 as a year of hope and revival in all spheres of life, especially in security and economic prosperity.

Dickson urged Nigerians to pray for their leaders, to enable them make decisions to expand the frontiers of development.

He said the call for more support and encouragement from the people remained imperative, since it behooved on persons occupying positions of authority to bring about change.

The governor, who noted that leadership entailed decision-making, enjoined Nigerians to make supplications for divine wisdom, direction and good health for leaders to execute projects, policies and programmes in the best interest of the citizenry.

He said: “By the grace of God, 2018 will bring more hope, greater development, security and above all, it will usher in prosperity for all of us.

“All I ask is your support and prayers for leaders. Pray for us to be guided and that we should have divine wisdom, direction, strength and good health to do the work it has pleased God Almighty to entrust to us.”

Thanking Bayelsans and religious bodies for their support, Dickson reassured the people of his administration’s commitment to the completion of projects.
