Senator Douye Diri, the Governor of Bayelsa State, recently shared a shocking revelation during the KOLGA Annual Day of Thanksgiving in his community. He disclosed how he was approached by a senior citizen who advised him to perform certain rituals to secure his position as governor. The catch? A hefty sum of $10,000 was demanded to bring in marabouts from Senegal to conduct the rituals on his behalf.
### Governor’s Refusal and Divine Intervention
Despite the tempting offer, Governor Diri stood firm in his faith in God and rejected the proposal, earning him the title of the ‘Miracle Governor.’ He recounted how the senior citizen flew in the marabouts while his case was still pending at the Supreme Court, only to be met with a resolute refusal from the Governor. In a surprising turn of events, the senior citizen demanded a refund of the $10,000 spent to bring the marabouts, a request that Governor Diri complied with.
### Lessons Learned and Gratitude Expressed
Governor Diri emphasized the importance of trusting in God rather than seeking supernatural interventions from marabouts or external sources. He urged fellow politicians to learn from his experience and put their faith in divine providence. The Governor expressed gratitude to Apostle David Zilly Aggrey and the people of Koluama/Opokuma for their unwavering support and prayers.
### A Testament to Faith and Resilience
The Governor’s unwavering faith in God not only shielded him from falling prey to fraudulent schemes but also led him to victory in the face of adversity. His refusal to compromise his beliefs serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of integrity and trust in higher powers in the realm of politics.
In a world where ethical dilemmas and moral compromises often cloud the judgment of individuals, Governor Diri’s story stands out as a beacon of hope and resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder that staying true to one’s convictions and faith can pave the way for unexpected miracles and triumphs in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
