 Governor of Bayelsa State, Doro Dury, has granted scholarship to seven children who assisted operatives of the Joint Tax Form, South Side Operation DeltaSafe, during the recent flooding, which ravaged most part of the state. The governor made the pronouncement at the OPD's headquarters in Igbogene, Yanugua, during the end of the year, get together. Our correspondent, Jesse Esser, has more in this report. Igbogene was one of the major areas hit by the 2022 flood. But despite its devastating effects, troops of Operation DeltaSafe must serve their fatherland. These children sought out means to help cushion the effects of the flooding on the troops, using canoes to ferry food, water and other deliverables to the military men and women. Today, they are being rewarded for their humanitarian services. I am giving directives to our medical center to don't crave for anybody to conceal, because we keep on, we are biased for each and every one of them, to always be there in our medical center, free. Any where you need, any reprieve for these children, the Joint Tax Forms will stand for them. I feel so elated that you are honoring them, and may God continue to bless you. And in that spirit, let me announce the scholarship. What do you think of these young ones? I want to use this medium to appreciate the executive governor of Biasa State for giving me scholarship. I want to thank him, and let God give him a long life. Let him stay in his tenor and do well for Biasa State. I want to thank Jetser, especially the commander, for his great work, for his kindness, his kind generosity. I am so grateful and very happy. He uses the avenue to charge the OPD as commander and is meant to be geopolitical. I'd like to thank Rea and your Amino Hassan under his command. We have seen peace. We have seen security in our states. Let me use this opportunity to call on you, and other security chiefs in the states, to remain a political so that you can foster democracy in our country. The moment the military takes sides, democracy will be arrested. I want to sincerely thank our post in Biasa State, especially the executive governor of Biasa State and all other governors in our joint operations area. But if you might not support any other relationship, the OPDs have been learning from the government and good people of Biasa State and all others within the OPD joint operations area. I point out the event is a presentation of souvenirs to the governor and other deserving citizens. Yes, you see, surplus souvenirs. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
