The newly sworn-in Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Pastor Peter Akpe, has stated that he did not campaign or lobby for the position following the passing of his predecessor.
Akpe described his appointment as an opportunity to serve and support others rather than pursue personal recognition.
He made the remarks during a reception held at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Akpe said, “But 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.
