Why I met Buhari — Gov Diri

Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri said he met with President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday at the State House, Abuja to work with the federal government to ensure peace, stability and development in the oil rich state.

Diri, who is of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was declared winner of the November 16 governorship election, hours to the swearing in of David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the Supreme Court.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Diri said he was well received by the president.

“It is a private visit. Since I resumed as Governor of Bayelsa State, precisely on the 14th of February, I have not come to see the father of the nation.

“Today (yesterday) I just did that, to come and see the father of our country and to work with the Federal Government of Nigeria in ensuring peace and stability in my state and ensuring the development of my state,” he said.

When asked how the president received him and his promise to Bayelsa State, the governor said: “Mr President received me as one of his sons, as a governor of a state and he received me very warmly. I am very satisfied with the reception.”
