 A United Nations Peace Ambassador and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Arc Miebi Bribena has released N1m as palliative measure to cushion the effect of COVID-19 and lockdown policy of the government on the people of Bayelsa state.

He called on the christian faithful to imbibe the lesson of the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ which is humility and sacrifice for mankind.
