Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri has issued warning to some youths in the state that any attempt to stage protest against Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesome Wike will be resisted.

The Governor, while speaking during the 37th session of the state security council on Thursday in Yenagoa, said that he has gotten a security alert about a plot to breach the peace of the state over the ongoing political crisis in Rivers.
He said: “Any attempt to import the Rivers State political crisis into Bayelsa will be resisted. I urge security commanders in the state to be on the alert.
“Parents and traditional rulers should discourage their wards and children from being used by unscrupulous elements to cause trouble in the state.
“As you are aware, we have threats from our sister state. The political crisis there is threatening us and we will not allow what is happening there to come into Bayelsa State.

“We had in our party a renegade, who has decided to form a parallel PDP in Bayelsa State, working with an ex-governor.
“The party in our state suspended him for gross misconduct and for now he is not a member of our party in Bayelsa State.
“He was a part of the kangaroo PDP South South zonal congress that was rejected by the National Working Committee of our party and he is threatening the peace of this state.
“This is not Rivers State. Bayelsa is the cradle of every Ijaw man. I have always said that being peaceful is not cowardice. We are very courageous and we can stand up for the truth at all times.
“Every public facility owned by the Bayelsa State government cannot be used except with the express approval of the state government.”
