I DID NOT LOBBY FOR THIS POSITION” — BAYELSA DEPUTY GOVERNOR, H.E. DR. PETER AKPE
The Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, His Excellency Dr. Peter Akpe, has stated clearly that he did not lobby for his appointment into office.
Speaking yesterday at the Banquet Hall, Government House, during his inauguration reception, the Deputy Governor emphasized that his emergence was divinely orchestrated.
“Let me make it clear that I have not gone to lobby for any position, including this one. Most of the influential Bayelsa big men are here. If I had ever told you to lobby for me, please say it here. In my life, it has always been God touching people to do things for me. So I’ve always said, Lord, just do Your own.”
He further noted that when approached by some individuals about seeking the position, he maintained that he would only align with God’s will.
“Some people came to me saying, ‘What are you doing about this?’ and I said, ‘Let the will of God be done.’ You don’t go into something God has not allowed or prepared you for.”
Dr. Akpe gave glory to God for his emergence and expressed deep appreciation to the Governor of Bayelsa State for the confidence reposed in him.
“I want to give the Almighty God the glory. I also want to thank His Excellency, the Governor, for this massive privilege. It is a privilege for the Governor to allow you work with him and also see you good enough for higher responsibility. I also sincerely thank the House of Assembly and my constituency.
