Bayelsa Declares Holiday, Shuts Markets For Tinubu’s Visit by Pakute(op): 2:19pm On Apr 10

The Bayelsa State Government has declared Friday a work-free day and ordered the closure of markets ahead of the visit of President Bola Tinubu to the state.

The state Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, Ebiuwou Koku-Obiyai, disclosed this on Thursday in Yenagoa, the state capital.

She said, “As we all know that the the state is ready and we are ready as a people to receive the father of the nation, our father and leader in the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, who will be in the state on a one-day visit to inaugurate four legacy projects.

“In view of this, the state government has declared tomorrow, Friday, April 10, 2026, a work-free day to enable workers and other residents of the State to participate in the programmes lined up for the one-day official visit to Bayelsa State.”

According to her, Tinubu is expected to inaugurate key projects during the visit, including a state-owned gas turbine at Opolo-Elebele, a 60-kilometre dual carriageway from Onopa to the LNG axis, and a 630-metre bridge linking Angiama to Oporoma in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.

Koku-Obiyai urged residents, including traders, to comply with the directive and turn out to welcome the President.

The government said the measures were part of efforts to ensure a smooth and successful visit.

Very, very shameful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did we sink so, so low?

Whenever, I consider the actions of these our leaders and I remember Trump statement that Africa need to be re-colonized (I'm not his fan) I can’t help but feel disheartened and also makes me worry deeply about what lies ahead for future generations.

Continue with your hypocrisy.

As for me, the market should never be closed for anyone, including the President.
