Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has condemned the killing of Sunday Frank-Oputu, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress(APC) by yet-to-be identified persons.
Speaking during the 73rd executive council meeting, at the executive council chambers, Government House, Yenagoa, the governor sypathized with the family of the late APC Chieftain for the sad event.
His words;”Just last night, we had a security challenge, which is very historic. In the history of the politics of our State, we have never been known to assassinate each other. A very prominent APC chieftain in the person of Sunday Frank-Oputu was assassinated.
“I like to tell all of us who are players in the development and growth of our State, that killings will not settle scores, and that we cannot hand down a State that will be a murdering field to our children. Let us build our brothers and sisters, not to kill under whatever guise.
“On behalf of the Prosperity Government and the people of the State, we send our heartfelt condolences to the family.
“We have put the security on their toes to immediately go after the sponsors and assassins.
“Our State has been very peaceful, and a place where all political parties are accommodated, and there is no reason whatsoever for anybody to take the life of another man.”
