In his speech, the Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah(rtd), thanked God profusely for seeing him through, during his sojourn in the Nigerian Navy despite the challenges, adding that on retirement, he only wanted to live a quiet life but after due consultations with friends and professional colleagues, he decided to accept the offer to serve as deputy governor of Bayelsa State and once again, pledged his unalloyed loyalty to Governor Dickson. He also expressed gratitude to God for His grace and inspiration to build the temple of worship and the Amanyanabo of Nembe Kingdom, King Edmund Daukoru, Mingi X11, for graciously approving the parcel of land for the building project. The deputy governor, further advised youths of Nembe Kingdom to respect their elders as well as constituted authority and also prepare to work, stressing that there is dignity in labour and that greatness is never attained by sudden flight but through continuous hard work and perseverance. Rear Admiral Jonah(rtd) also stated that he has indubitable trust and confidence in Governor Dickson, who according to him, is ready to work and leave a lasting impression and legacy in the State, pointing out that the possibility of failure does not exist in the present administration. In his sermon titled, “ two kinds of people”, the Senior Regional Overseer, South-South of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Church, Pastor Moses Odunsi, noted that there are two sets of people on earth, saying that there are those that are righteous and blessed who will make Heaven and those that are wicked and cursed who will go to hell.
