“Governor, the responsibility of building hope and sustaining peace across the State now lies on your shoulders.

“I urge you to always bear in mind that you are the Governor of all Bayelsans and to seize this moment of glory to build bridges of unity by entrenching a culture of love, fairness and justice in our polity.
