He described Dickson as a mentor and pledged to address any differences amicably.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is too much bitterness in the political landscape of our state,\u201d Diri said. \u201cThis visit is a step toward reducing that. Politics should not be about enmity but about service. God gives power, but He uses men. In my case, He used the immediate past governor to ensure a smooth transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Diri acknowledged that, as governor, his decisions might not always be perfect and could sometimes cause offence. However, he stressed the importance of dialogue and reconciliation in resolving misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolitics will come and go, but we will remain here as brothers. Let us demonstrate love and unity, not just in words but through actions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Senator Dickson, who represents Bayelsa West in the National Assembly, dismissed attempts by mischief-makers to create division between him and Diri.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated his commitment to supporting the governor in advancing the state\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis
