Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa state, at a thanksgiving marking his Supreme Court triumph, said he will constitute his cabinet “in the next three months”.
The Thanksgiving Service held at the King of Glory Chapel, Government House, Bayelsa, on Saturday.
“I won’t be in a hurry to constitute my cabinet. I want the people of Bayelsa to be patient because I plan to painstakingly shop for credible persons to appoint.
“I need between two and three months to assemble a credible team to drive the policies of the state government under my watch.”
He assured those to be appointed as commissioners that he would give them a free hand to run the affairs of the ministries and award contracts, while he and the deputy would merely supervise.
“Those that will make my cabinet will be given free hand to run their ministries including the awards of contracts,’’ he said.
