Dickson is only trying to create a fight where there is none.. wike only raised an issue on disrespect to customary practise.

Wike only wondered why a PDP Governor, a neighbouring state, a party leader could not pay courtesy visit to him before embarking on internal visits to traditional chiefs?

Even obasanjo had to visit el-rufai before proceeding for internal meetings in Kaduna..

The Governors usually welcome Buhari at the airport, then take to the traditional leaders before accessing the people..

same thing happened when amaechi was governor , Dickson and wike paid a visit to the traditional chiefs without meeting amaechi .

wike is sure sick, suffering from mouth diarrhea. this is it when we keep voting nuisance into office to govern over us.
a serious governor would not have time spewing trash from his senses, the deficit on ground is more than enough to give room to engage in idle or beer parlour reasoning.
administrators in developed world still go on sleepless nights trying to get better but with this our tumbo, burukutu and opaeyin stinkers we will keep larking behind.

Dickson finally got his mojo back, speaking out albeit late!

Wike has been treating and talking to most if not all PDP Governors like his houseboys. Only Fayose he accorded some respects. Dickson's led committee did alot to stabilize PDP when Fayose and Wike sold out the party to Sheriff cos of their greed and selfish interest.

Though Wicked Wike can not be blamed for PDP's loss of Bayelsa but Dickson himself.

Clannish Wike visiting and working for Buhari in the night and talking tough against Buhari in the day.

Soku Oil shouldn't be an issue since Dickson enjoyed the windfall while it lasted and the original owner Rivers State is getting it back. Soku Oil was majorly between GEJ and Ameachi, Soku was erroneously mapped to Bayelsa by the Nigerian Boundary Commission few years ago which the Commission admitted to subsequently but curiously the powers that be refused to accept the correction and kept paying Bayelsa State the derivation as GEJ was President and Ameachi outburst against the Federal Govt and policies like Sovereign Wealth Fund and even contesting and winning the NGF chair against GEJ choice, preference and undemocratic acceptance of Jang as NGF chair led by Akpabio.


I would have responded and contributed to your opinion but merely reading the third statement in your second paragraph just proved how myopic and ignorant you are about it. May be it's your chronic hatred for wike in display I don't know.

You saying that Wike sold out pdp to Sherrif is so misleading and wicked of you. Because even the entire people of Bayelsa and Nigerians at large can not be deceived about Wike role to stabilize the party.
But I will not say much, save this response of mine in your archive and see what happens by 2022-2023. Them we shall know who saved PDP and how it will be saved by then.

But any how make we know kill ourselves for those men because their family dey live better life abroad.

Bayelsa governor, Seriake Dickson, has warned his counterpart in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, not to see Bayelsa as an annex of Rivers State.

“Let me put it on record, this is the first time I will formally respond to Wike’s childishness in this formal way. I have always ignored with pain and regret all the previous vituperations and his attempt to belittle and intimidate this state and our leadership.

“His unfriendliness towards this state is not hidden. It’s not just me, it’s about our state and our people, he has done that a couple of times but I decided to stomach it for several reasons,” Mr Dickson said on Saturday while briefing reporters in Yenagoa.

Mr Dickson’s remarks at the briefing is contained in a statement issued on Sunday afternoon by his spokesperson, Fidelis Soriwei.

The governor was reacting to Mr Wike’s outburst against his (Dickson) visit to a traditional leader in Rivers, the Amanyanabo of Kalabari kingdom, Theophilus Princewill.

The visit took place in April, almost eight months ago before Mr Wike came out to speak publicly against it two weeks ago.

Governor Wike had said Mr Dickson’s visit was a breach of protocol since the Bayelsa governor did not notify the “appropriate authorities”. He accused him of trying to destabilise Rivers State.

Mr Dickson said he visited the traditional leader to condole with him and his people over “the killing of Ijaw sons and daughters of the area during Mr Wike’s own gubernatorial election”.

Mr Dickson said he tried to reach Mr Wike but could not, and that his chief of staff and security detail, on his own directive, contacted the security details and a senior aide to the Rivers governor on his planned trip to Rivers.

“I want to make it clear as governor of this state, either me or any other person who will be governor, we don’t need Governor Wike’s permission to visit our traditional rulers and elders in Port Harcourt or any part of Rivers State.

“Since he doesn’t understand courtesy and is not prepared to show courtesy, then that courtesy will not be extended to him. Bayelsa is not an annex of Rivers State that he can intimidate at will,” the governor said.

The statement from the Bayelsa Government House quoted Mr Dickson as saying he would lead other Ijaw leaders “to participate in any activity that might be put in place to celebrate the foremost monarch, the Amanyanabo of Kalabari who would turn 90 in January 2020”.

He accused Mr Wike of having a hand in the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last governorship election in Bayelsa and also fighting oil wars with neighbouring states like Imo and Akwa Ibom.

He also accused Mr Wike of trying to destabilise Ijaw ethnic group in order to promote “ethnic supremacist political agenda”.

“The Good people of Rivers State should not be preys in the hands of Wike who want to promote disunity and hatred in Ijaw land because he is promoting an ethnic supremacist political agenda in the state.

“And I want that recorded, that Governor Wike is deliberately inciting disunity in Ijaw land because of his ethnic supremacist political agenda which he knows that Bayelsa, particularly Governor Dickson and my agenda will not support. That’s what he’s doing.”

“As we speak, because of the level of social and business interactions, most of our people and leaders live in Port Harcourt, and so I have been very reluctant since he started his unreasonable hostility towards us.

“I have been very reluctant even to respond publicly, out of respect for our historical ties, respect for the good people of Rivers State itself, whom he is misrepresenting, and the other point is yes Wike can attack Bayelsa, because he doesn’t have his indigenous Ikwerre people in Bayelsa State.

“But the Governor of Bayelsa has his indigenous Ijaw people who are major stakeholders in Rivers state. So as a result of these, for the past four to five years, since he started his childish and unguarded drunken behavior, I’ve been very reserved responding.

“But I have had to formally do so and Governor Wike knows that I’m not someone who shies away. I have had to hold myself because the Governor of Bayelsa represents much more than governorship of a state. Out of respect for our people in Rivers state, I’ve always held back, but this time, no, he has gone too far,” Mr Dickson said.

Disputed oil wells – the Soku oil wells – is fueling the rift between the two governors.

An Abuja Federal High Court reportedly declared that the oil wells belong to Rivers, but the Bayelsa government said such did not tenable since, according to them, the Supreme Court struck out a case brought by Rivers before it on the disputed oil wells.

Governor Dickson at the Saturday briefing insisted that the oil wells belong to Bayelsa, saying they are located in Oluasiri, Nembe Local Government Area of the state.

Bayelsa was created from the then Rivers State on October 1, 1996. The two states share a lot in common in terms of culture, tradition, and politics

DICK-HEAD IS STILL TALKING DESPITE HIS POOR PERFORMANCE AS A GOVERNOR FOR 8 YEARS IN BAYELSA STATE.

The best way to seek sympathy for himself so that he can aspire to the senate is to play into ethnic issues.

If Bayelsans can develop Yenagoa, Sagbama, Kaiama and even Odi, there will not be any need for them to stay in Port Harcourt and work in Bayelsa. These towns and others are not totally in water and have link roads.

On the other hand, the ijaws, abuas and some other ethnic nationalities of Rivers State who have affinity with Bayelsa should be wise. There are areas of Rivers State you have to first go to Bayelsa before you can access them, real riverine areas long forgotten by Rivers State government despite the fact that they have oil.

In all of this I salute the political acumen of the Ikwerres, they plotted their graph so well, its back to back to back to back.

I do not hate Wike or anyone for that matter.

How can someone who so much loves his party impose Secondus as party chair, stood aloof to Atiku's campaign because his chosen Tambuwal lost, accuse and destabilize the party because Hon. Elumelu became Minority Leader as against his choice of Chindah, threaten the party publicly against moving the party convention from Port Harcourt. A good partyman must not always take it all.

All these info are in public domain.

I am not a PDP supporter though but I believe viable opposition should come from them not the charade we currently witnessing from PDP.

No one is killing anyone abeg grin; we are only discussing and sharing knowledge, perhaps for a better Nigeria hopefully.

Merry Christmas in advance.
