Bayelsa Assembly Confirms Peter Akpe as Deputy Governor

The Bayelsa State House of Assembly has confirmed the appointment of Peter Akpe as the new Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State. Akpe, who is affiliated with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, was previously nominated to serve as the Chief of Staff to the Governor.

This appointment comes in light of the collapse of the previous Deputy Governor's office, which is set to take place in December 2025. The confirmation marks a significant political development within the state, as Akpe steps into a critical role in the state government.
