Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson wept yesterday at the Federal Medical Centre Mortuary in Yenagoa where he went to inspect the bodies of Governor Patrick Yakowa, ex-National Security Adviser (NSA) Gen. Patrick Azazi and four others who died in Saturday’s helicopter crash.

Dickson, with whom were Service Chiefs and other notable personalities, described the incident as “sad, tragic and an irreparable loss” to the government and people of Kaduna and Bayelsa states.

Dickson expressed condolences to President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo. He described the crash as a monumental loss.

He declared a three-day mourning period during which flags will be flown at half mast.

Expressing the readiness of the state to collaborate with the various organs set up by the Federal Government and the Naval Command to unravel the mystery behind the crash, Dickson said the government would partner with the government and people of Kaduna State to ensure that the right thing is done.

Dickson described Yakowa as “a bridge builder”, who came to Bayelsa State on a visit to strengthen and deepen the bonds of brotherhood and unity, but ended up dying.Of the late Gen. Azazi, the governor said: “For our brother and leader, the the late General Andrew Owoye Azazi, the Chairman of the Bayelsa state Post Flood Management Committee inaugurated two weeks ago, and the Chairman-designate of the Bayelsa State Development and Investment Corporation (BDIC), I really have no word to express the profound sense of loss and tragedy that has befallen the state and our country.

“I am short of words. It is a very terrible tragedy. I pray that God should comfort the bereaved families and good people of Kaduna State.”

Dickson should also learn that death is in escapable cos as a leader, if u dont lead right, one day, one day....the leaders and the led will die. We will all go there and account for all our deeds.

who are u to judge................. and u have never stolen before?.Remove the logs in your eyes before removing the speck in the next man's eye. Just live a good life and let God be the judge.

For those who think its fake tears, I pray that you will not be hit by any kind of grief , then your song will be different!

Thieves or no thieves, this is a real human tragedy . These people are fathers, brothers, sons of people like you. Not every politician is a thief and deserves evil to befall them. We only tend to hear of he bad ones.

Believe me , there is evil in every sphere of the society including NL not just in politics.

Make una leave d guy Oº°˚˚˚°º, I guess he'll be offered a role in Nollywood.

Obama Weeps for the Dead; He is right
Jonathan or Dickson weep for the Dead; they are copying Obama.

Myopic thinking at its apogee.

Double post

Not so early, you have definately not heard the news making rounds that the wife maybe chosen as the new deputy after the dead governor get buried later in the week

May their soul rest in perfect peace. Its a sad, sad way to leave the world, not on retirement, but when one is still actively involved in people service.

Do you know how many people that have died of starvation and sufferings because of the biullion stolen by these criminals?believe me it will be better if we lose all these so called politicians so that fear can be instilled on the future ones.am not sad one bit,they were going to die either way

Crocodile Tears

A lesson for you Dickson,stop using the public funds for personal use.

Contruct roads instead of running in the sky.

Move closer to your people instead of running to dubai.

Jesus wept...
And after weeping, he did not declare 3 days mourning for Lazarus, rather, he resurected him!
Dear governor, after weeping, clean ur eyes and do something about the East west road. I'm sure if that road was ok, they would have journeyed from bayelsa to ph via road rather than flying.
#just my 2 cents...

Political tears. God punish you.

Tell him to tell Jonathan. The damn road was awarded since 2007 at the whooping cost of 1.3 billion per 1 kilometer, yet the road is a death trap. They are all a bunch of clowns. David Mark does same...flying chopper from Abuja to Benue instead of pressuring government to fix the road.

You think you can ride government helicopters for private use at OUR expense and go scot free? Na so una go dey fall one by one like mosquito.

They just love to abuse the masses.

To d dead..........i say, may their souls rest in perfect peace.



To Dickson.....i say, "oku nsunkun oku".........this is a lesson for him he should govern well, so that, when he too is gone, pple will remember him for good, he should also remember that, one day will be one day, he will also die.

Weeping at mortuary is not special, anyboody can do that, if he is d one that died, the same thing would have been done to him.......ie other governors will also cry when they see his corpse. He just have to learn that, what happened to Yakowa &co, could have happened to anybody else.

I no jst knw watin i go talk sef
May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace Amen...

May their souls rest in peace. Life is Transient.

Reminds me of my visits to the motuary to see the body of my dad who died in a ghastly accident; I cry everytime I went there till He was buried.

Our polithieviens should understand from this that life is transient.

What shall it profit them to loot the treasury dry and still get to die leaving all their loot behind.

Death should be easy since life is hard.
