Bayelsa
State Ggovernor, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, on Monday, July 24, 2017,
proceeded on vacation and directed his deputy, Rear Admiral
Gboribiogha John-Jonah (retd), to take charge for the period he will be
away.
The
gesture, which came at a time many state governors are fighting their
deputies over sharing of functions, has again, proved that there is
peace between Dickson and his deputy, sources said.
This
is contrary to what had been in place in previous administrations in
Bayelsa, our sources revealed adding that Dickson has always delegated
functions to his deputy whenever he goes on vacation and has never
contravened the law.
A
Government House statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the
Governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, affirmed that the delegation of
responsibility was within the confines of the law.
He
explained that, the governor is expected to use the period of his
vacation to rest, after a busy schedule of duties both within and
outside the State, especially his role as chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Reconciliation Committee, among others.
According
to him, Governor Dickson used the opportunity to renew his call on
Bayelsans to remain steadfast in their prayers and support for the
programmes and policies of the restoration administration.
He
also called for the sustenance of the existing peace and stability in
the state, as to allow the various development projects of the
government progress unhindered, stressing that, the administration
remains focused on its agenda to move the State to the next level in all
its ramification.
