Cracks in the relationship between the
Bayelsa State Governor , Seriake Dickson
and President Goodluck Jonathan on
one hand , and the First Lady, Dame
Patience Jonathan , on the other hand ,
deepened on Thursday.
Dickson berated their loyalists led by a
former deputy governor of the state ,
Werinipre Seibarugu , and former Special
Adviser on Special Projects , Remi Kuku ,
for allegedly sowing seeds of discord in
the PDP family in the state .
The governor ’s attack on Seibarugu ,
Kuku , and other loyalists of Jonathan
was coming barely five weeks to the
February 14 presidential election .
Jonathan ’s loyalists and supporters in
the state now operate under the aegis of
the Transformation Ambassadors of
Nigeria ( TAN ) under the chairmanship of
Seibarugu .
Kuku is the Deputy National Co -
ordinator of the First Lady ’s non -
governmental organisation, Women for
Change and Development Initiative
( W 4 CDI ) .
Last Monday , Dickson sacked Kuku and
the Commissioner for Local Government
Affairs , Marie Ebikake , from his cabinet
in very controversial circumstances.
The governor , who spoke through a
statement on Thursday in Yenagoa
signed by his Chief Press Secretary,
Daniel Iworsio - Markson, accused the
former deputy governor , Kuku and “ their
cohorts ” for creating political divisions
in the state , especially among the
women .
He flayed them for engaging in divisive
tendencies to “mostly to serve their own
selfish interest and personal
aggrandizement other than the
Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria ,
TAN ”.
He described them as “some desperate
and self - seeking politicians promoting
the politics of disaffection and needless
divisions in the state ”.
He also described “ their antics as
childish and most deplorable , especially ,
for people claiming to be working for the
success of the PDP ” .
“ While operating under the aegis of the
Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria ,
TAN , they rallied senior members of the
previous administration in the State to
engage and promote the politics of
subversion and needless divisions
amongst the women and other groups,
who were mobilized to attend and
honour the President on the occasion of
the traditional marriage of his niece .
“ Mrs . Kuku did not only create division
among the women, but displayed total
disrespect for senior officials of the
Bayelsa State Government by her
actions and this can no longer be
condoned in a disciplined set up like the
restoration government ” , Dickson said .
He warned them and their fellow
politicians to desist “from every form of
subversive and divisive tendencies,
capable of threatening the existing
peaceful , harmonious , united and
conducive environment created by his
administration ” .
The governor cautioned that while
politicians and groups were free to set
up campaign structures to promote their
personal , political aspirations and
canvas for votes from the electorates,
they must do so within the confines of
the law .
Dickson , according to the statement ,
called on the security agencies to be at
alert in order to nip in the bud any
attempt by Werinipre , Kuku and “their
cohorts ” to cause trouble in the state .
“ It is worthy of note that since the
commencement of the Governor
Dickson - led restoration government , the
administration has strived to galvanize
and mobilize the state to function as a
single unified and progressive entity , one
with visible and distinctive landmarks of
solid development in virtually all sectors
of the state ’s economy .
“ All of these were done despite the
subversive and unpatriotic tendencies of
those who do not mean well for the
state , coupled with the dangerous
propaganda and blackmail of the
opposition .
“ Of recent , these subversive tendencies
have almost been taken to a
treasonable level ”, the statement added .
It continued : “To this end , we wish to
state as follows : That there is a lawfully
and legitimately constituted government
in place with a mandate to ensure and
provide for the security , safety and
stability of the state , and as such , we
will not condone or allow anybody , no
matter how highly placed , to get away
with acts of subversion .
“ As our government has shown since
inception , we allow room for political
opposition to thrive , but we have always
insisted that , those who engage in
opposition politics must do so , within
the confines of the law .
“ We , therefore , call on citizens of our
state to be weary of the divisive and
subversive tendencies of some persons,
who have all in the name of politics, set
out to create and carry actions , that are
intended to cause divisions in our state .
“ Finally , we want to sound a clear note
of warning to all, that in the interest of
peace , even as the elections draw near,
that this state is bigger than every one
of us and nobody, no matter how highly
placed , will be spared from facing the
wrath of the law , if found wanting ”, the
statement added .
