Success Nwogu and Daniels Igoni

The Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Seriake Dickson, has said leaders of the All Progressives Congress are using the image of former President Goodluck Jonathan to give legitimacy to the alleged electoral fraud the party committed during the just-concluded governorship election in the state.

Dickson, who stated this during a press conference in Yenagoa on Tuesday, said the move was a strategy designed by the APC leaders to justify the irregularities and the takeover of Bayelsa “by force.”

Some APC leaders, including the governor-elect, David Lyon; Governor of Jigawa State, Abubakar Badaru; Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu; and the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipreye Sylva, had visited Jonathan after the APC defeated the PDP in the Bayelsa governorship election.

But Dickson said the APC leaders were aware that Jonathan did not contribute to their manipulation of the electoral process to gain the upper hand against the PDP.

The governor said, “That’s why they had to be taking David Lyon to him (Jonathan). They had to be talking about him; they had to visit him and appear to be celebrating a victory never earned.

“Like Pontius Pilate, they are preparing the window by which they will wash their hands strategically, and put it at his (Jonathan) doorstep; that he endorsed, sanctioned (and) legitimised it. That’s the game they are playing,” he added.

Dickson, who stated that he had “implicit confidence” in the judiciary to deliver justice on the pre-election related cases filed before it, called on the people to show restraint and not resort to violence.

Meanwhile, the PDP, on Tuesday, disowned a report that Jonathan risked suspension over the party’s defeat.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in an interview with one of our correspondents said he was unaware of any plan by the party to suspend Jonathan.

Ologbondiyan said, “I am not aware (that Jonathan faces suspension). I am not aware that the PDP is planning anything like that.”

I have never seen any former president who is as disrespected as Jonathan.

Jonathan is the only former president that no junior politician shakes with two hands.

My people, be nice and humble, but everything MUST have a limit.

This news concerning bayelsa, Jonathan, kogi state, Dino, and the rest of the unfortunate people, who govern Nigeria just irritate me.

We keep regressing as a nation.

The biggest fraud was you Seriake Dickson trying to play James Ibori in Bayelsa by imposing your cousin against popular opinion, in connivance with Uche Secondus the PDP national chairman, because they said Bayelsa is a PDP State and so will vote for PDP even if a goat on the ballot, but they voted for the better candidate irrespective of party affiliation.
You failed in your quest, blame yourself

Fool...
Bad loser!

While devil is using Dickson to scattered and bury Pdp finally in Bayelsa

If Dickson worked for his people......putting a successor would have been a smooth one for him

Dickson is a typical example of those who the God's want to destroy, they first make them mad.

I am not a fan of Jonathan, but clearly he is not in the same league with Dickson. By now, Dickson should be assembling elders to go and appeal to Jonathan. Even in hell there is order.

Dickson keep quiet. "The stubborn fly follows the dead body to the grave"....says an adage.



And again I say,, Abia state and Igbos have a lot to learn from Bayelsa people.

Oya make attacks dey fly upanda.

Oga Dick son....



Go and sit down

Leave story jare

There's indeed no permanent friend nor foe in politics.

This man shut the f..vck, if that election was rigged, this useless man make it easy for APC to do that, is it not the same state he won his 2nd term under the same APC. He simply betrayed his pple and he is divisive leader. All this APC capitalise on, in corniveness with his people to manipulate the system

I am tempted to make a comment but I can't
Is anyone in "sivia" pains?

Why do all these Bayelsa people look alike? Is it because of the hat?
