Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson has accused
Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan of
masterminding a crowd revolt against his bid for a
second term in office during the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Presidential Rally at the Samson Siasia
Stadium in Yenagoa.
During the PDP rally, President Goodluck Jonathan’s
appeal for support of Dickson’s governorship
ambition attracted boos and jeers from a section of
the crowd described by Dickson as loyalists of the
Mrs. Patience Jonathan.
Dickson, through his Chief Press Secretary Daniel
Iworiso-Markson, fingered members of the First
Lady’s NGO, Women for Change and Development
Initiative and the openly pro-Jonathan campaign
group known as the Transformation Ambassadors
(TAN) as the perpetrators of the unfortunate act.
According to him, attempts by members of TAN and
Women for Change and Development Initiative to
boo and stone the Governor were drowned by the
singing and drumming of pro-Dickson supporters,
who were at the venue of the rally in their numbers.”
However, a political pressure group, Network for
Bayelsa People’s Agenda (NBPA) has lauded the
people of Bayelsa for the courageous display of their
displeasure with the incumbent Governor and his
administrative style. By openly booing Dickson, the
people passed a vote of ‘no confidence’ on the
Governor’s leadership style.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Comrade
Ibipa Oweiza NBPA accused Dickson of administering
Bayelsa State as his private estate. It also alleged that
acts of nepotism, especially the award of state
contracts to kinsmen and in-laws, had become the
standard practice under the leadership of Dickson.
The group appealed to President Jonathan to give
consideration to the demands of Bayelsa youths who
are totally against the administration of Governor
Dickson, “We are the people who are feeling the
pains of Dickson’s leadership and are in a better
position to say so, and we urge President Jonathan to
listen to the voice of the people.“
At the PDP Presidential Rally in Yenagoa, a section of
the crowd had jeered persistently when President
Jonathan urged the people to support the party’s
Governorship candidate, Dickson, at the forthcoming
elect ion.
