The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State is criticizing the state government for focusing too much on celebrations for the state's 30th anniversary instead of addressing serious economic issues that residents are facing. They pointed out that many people in Bayelsa are struggling with high living costs, unemployment, and poverty. The PDP highlighted a specific project, the Bayelsa Tower Hotel, which has been incomplete for 22 years despite using public funds. They believe that the government should prioritize finishing such abandoned projects and creating job opportunities for the people. According to the PDP's spokesperson, Ikaebimo Mark, the anniversary should be a time to reflect on the state's progress since it was established in 1996 and to focus on the needs of the residents. He emphasized that the government should be more transparent about how it spends public money and ensure that resources are directed towards improving the lives of the people, rather than just celebrating. Overall, they want the government to take real action to help the community rather than just hold ceremonies.
