Yes,
APC won cause it was a protest vote, if it was Ndutimi Alaibe contesting and not Douye Diri, Bayelsa would still be a PDP state. PDP lost due to Dickson's greed and selfishness

'Protest vote' is the right word(added to my jargons). Most of the votes in the favour of the APC were disenchanted voices tired of Dickson. Sadly most non Bayelsans that of the APC extraction, refuse to acknowledge the support of pdp in the victory and rather give the credit to (Olsho)mole, who had no say.

[quote author=imiski post=84208708]Aliabe was a preferred candidate to most Bayelsa elderstatesmen including GEJ. Beign a man held in high esteem by his people, he would have used his influence to sway the votes in the favour of Ndutimi Alaibe. APC leaders visit to the elderstatesman proves that they couldnt have achieve their success without his support.
The voting pattern too. In Ogbia for example, -home of GEJ, APC won a landslide which is unprecedented beign the home council of GEJ and PDP stronghold ever since the creation of Bayelsa. Evidently because, his kinsmen saw it as a slight by Dickson on their own blood. Even in Kolga voter turn out was low, this is the LGA of Alaibe and Douye(Dickson's stooge), tho pdp won here but the turn out was a sign that a section were not happy with Douye candidature.

If Alaine was the PDP candidate the APC would have been licking their wounds by now. Dickson's arrogance, greed and disrespect for Jonathan and most importantly non-performance lead to the fall of PDP in Bayelsa state. Even though APC rigged but it is not their rigging that gave them the victory. The people decided to vote out Dickson and his stooge- Douye Dori.
Dickson armtwisted all delegates to vote for Douye against their wishe. He single handedly brought Douye's running mate from his (Dickson's) senatorial district so that he can go and replace the Deputy in the senate. Bayelsans are not fools and they reacted accordingly.

Correct analysis, you understood what really went down. Seems like youre from Bayelsa. Im tired of reading posts from people who are not from here or understand what went down.

Diri is from KOLGA,,, so it wasn't about "if it's not my kinsman I won't cast my vote"
In the Kolouma/Opokuma LGA, Bayelsa Central, APC scored 8,934 votes while the PDP scored 15,360 votes.

Thank you for the correction. But you'll agree with me that voter turn out was low, because the people were disatisfied with the choice of Douye over Alaibe who had challenged for that position a lot of times, he finally decamped to the pdp, got the support of top pdp elderstatesmen then finally denied by Dickson.

context to which I applied god-fatherism. I applied to the harmful, imposing and controlling type. Given both characters at play- Johnathan and Dickson, you would understand my piont exactly. The person of Dickson is authoritative, has as well as controlling apperance. Given his past records he easily gives himself away, as the Mamman Daura; o(lo)shomole-type I need not say more(of course you get the piont). Jonathan on the other hand, is a more gentle fellow. Since he has always had a say in who becomes governor, he has never (i'm open to corrections) medeled in the day to day running. So when the ballot came calling, the people chose the better evil -the uncontrolling type god-fatherism.

LegendHero:
You guys with low understanding of politics. What is Jonathan doing in Bayelsa? Is that not also god-fatherism?

He is swaying public opinion by saying Dickson is trying to foist his stooge on the people. Since Jonathan reached the limelight, successive governors in Bayelsa always need him by their side before the can win election. Isn't that also what is called god-fatherism?

GOD-FATHERISM
A form of political corruption in which an influential member of a party assists another person/party in climb to leadership due to many reasons.
Wikitionary (2019)
To be honest I tilt a little to your opinion on god-fatherism. Infact god-fatherism plays a major role in every sphere of life,. That beign said, GEJ is a god-father in Bayelsa state politics, as you rightly mentioned, every governor that have been elected to that position always enjoyed his support. But if you followed up on my commentary, you'll understand the

Personally, I don't see why this should make news; I mean, is there anything these kids go to school for, aside cultism or prostitution. You hardly see news on university students, making important contribution to society. Open Universites should be widely encouraged to curb these social embarrasments in the name of graduates. I dare you to quote me.

yorubas and their stupidity on nairaland irritate me most times.
GEJ doesn't play politics of bitterness. If Dickson if forming boss, he needs to be put in his place. GEJ is not like your evil politicians who see nothing wrong in supporting Bello despite his non performance.
David Lyon is a Bayelsan, so also is Dickson and his stooge.
GEJ wants what is best for his State irrespective of political affiliations. GEJ is learned; unlike most of you who don't reason beyond party affiliations.
You see a Republican going against a fellow Republican and vice versa when a certain policy of such a party member does not aline with the masses.
Here, once any nitwit is shared the same party with you, all his/her rubbish automatically becomes the best of policy.
Did GEJ tells you that he's now an APC member? if you don't wise up, party politics will sink your brain. Vote whoever you think has your interest at heart; if he/she fails, you can as well vote his/her ass out. (most of you don't no the game Dickson was playing).

Some people still fail to realise they are the only ones left in the sinking ship called PDP

The fact that he was visited by APC chieftians or that he (allegedlly) supported APC in the just concluded election, does not mean he has moved to the APC. This how matured politics is played (I can quote examples if needed). Politics after all is a game of intrest and his intrest may have been across party line. This Bayelsa election is a classical case of GOD FATHERISM VERSUS POLITICS AS USUAL; and the people chose the better evil. #notogodfatherism
