Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has cautioned his appointees against early politicking ahead of the 2023 elections, saying he will not hesitate to sack any of them found wanting.

Speaking before the commencement of the weekly State Executive Council meeting at the government house yesterday in Yenagoa, the state capital, Diri frowned at the activities of some of his appointees, which he said were heating up the polity ahead of the 2023 elections.

“I find it very difficult to believe that appointees in this government have already started open politicking.

“Yes, it is the constitutional right of anybody to contest but even the Bible tells us that there is time for everything. At this time, we are trying to stamp our feet to meet up our campaign promises to our people,” he said
