Governor, Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has said that Rivers and Bayelsa states must deliberately avoid anything capable of destroying their relationship.
Diri, disclosed this during the service of songs in honour of the late Amaopusenibo Godfrey Brown – father-in-law to Apostle, Zilly Aggrey at the St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church, in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
A statement by the governor’s chief press secretary, Daniel Alabrah, quoted him as saying that both states have come a long way and the people must continue to encourage the brotherliness between them.
“Let us encourage those things that would keep the brotherliness and friendliness between Bayelsa and Rivers and not the things that discourage, separate and put us asunder,” he said.
“For Rivers and Bayelsa, we are so interwoven and intertwined that we are one and the same people that nothing can separate us,” he added.
