The Bayelsa State House of Assembly has approved the appointment of Peter Akpe as the state's deputy governor.
Akpe, a pastor, served as chief of staff to Douye Diri,
governor of Bayelsa, prior to his nomination.
Ordained clergy by the Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG), Akpe has had a career spanning the civil service and politics.
He served in the Rivers and Bayelsa state civil services
before transitioning fully into politics.
Akpe was a two-term member of the Bayelsa state house of
assembly from 2011 to 2019, serving as majority leader throughout his stint in
the legislature.
He also served as commissioner between 2008 and 2011 under
the Seriake Dickson administration.
The approval clears the way for his swearing-in as deputy governor.
Akpe’s appointment follows the death of Lawrence
Ewhrudjakpo, the former deputy governor, who passed on last December.
