“As we mourn Mrs Bidei, we will dearly miss her and her passion as a dedicated public servant and a loyal party person who worked tirelessly to promote the welfare and empowerment of women in our state.

“As a member of the executive council, who played a crucial role in shaping policies and programmes that benefited the people of Bayelsa state, her death has denied our state of her inspiring contribution and created a vacuum that is difficult to fill.

“We shall remember her as a kind and compassionate individual who always placed the needs of others ahead of her own.

“It is our conviction that her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched and the many initiatives she championed during her lifetime.

“The governor and the entire government of Bayelsa state are saddened by her loss and will miss her wise counsel and dedication to our collective efforts to build a better and prosperous future for our state.

“We will always remember her as a true servant of the people and a champion of women’s empowerment.”
