[size=15pt]Ijaw Group tells APC to forget guber race[/size]

Ahead of the December 5 governorship elections in Bayelsa, a foremost Ijaw socio-political organization, The Ijaw Peoples Assembly(IPA), has asked the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to forget contesting the election.

The group, in a statement Monday in Yenagoa and signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Kambowei Daniels, advised the leadership of the APC not to waste its resources because Bayelsa remains a stronghold of the PDP.

“We are by this statement calling on the national leadership of the APC not to dissipate its energy and resources on the December 5 governorship election in Bayelsa State because the incumbent governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson will win the election,” the statement said.

According to the group, plans are already on ground to convene a stakeholders meeting of all Ijaws in Yenagoa to unanimously endorse the candidacy of Governor Dickson for the December 5 election.

The group said that with the backing of prominent Ijaw leaders and key stakeholders who have unanimously endorsed Dickson for a second term, the chances of any opposition against the governor were minimal.

“Having regard to his performance record in the last three years, Governor Dickson deserved to be reelected, that is why we are mobilizing the people of the state to rally support for his re-election,” the statement added.

The group said that a meeting of notable Ijaw leaders and key stakeholders would soon be convened in Yenagoa ahead of the elections, where they would unanimously endorse the candidacy of the governor for the December 5 election.

He said, “Our amiable countryman governor is the pride of the Ijaw nation and given his record of indelible service and various strong conributions to the promotion of pan- Ijaw agenda, our collecive support to reelect him is in the right direction.

“Already, he has been endorsed by virtually all the prominent Ijaw leaders like Pa Edwin Clark, DSP Alamieyeseigha, Prof. Lawrence Ekpebu, Dan Etete and a host of others.

“But very soon, we will all come together to formally endorse the governor to send a clear message of our unity of purpose in this election.”

The statement further stated that the choice of Dickson was a demonstration of Ijaw people’s recognition and reward for good leadership, stressing that Dickson’s stewardship had provided a sound vision for development of the state.

The group said: “The issue is not about the jostling for power as we see in the APC but a realistic vision and able leadership that can lead us to realise our development objectives as a people.

“We have seen that demonsrated by Governor Dickson in the last three years and it is only proper to allow him complete the good projects he started and even do more.”

The statement urged contestants in other parties to step down for Governor Dickson, adding that they would lead a high-powered delegation of Ijaw activists to grace Dickson’s formal declaration for second tenure scheduled for August 28.

In your warped mind only APC provides good governance, we see the results in Osun, Edo etc.

if Osun is the worst state being governed by APC, then in contrast to Bayelsa, Bayelsa has no governor at all

South South belongs to PDP, there's no doubt about that. Even little children on the streets know that APC people are just wasting their time in Bayelsa Guber race.

Bayelsa state have been plagued with bad and mediocre leaders since its creation: Dipreye Alamasiegha, Goodluck Jonathan, Timipre Sylva and Seriaka Dickson.

Nothing stops an Oil producing state like Bayelsa from becoming the Dubai of Nigeria with its small landmass, a little population that is below 2million and a comparatively huge federal allocation. I hope the people of Bayles will get it right this time around

Just tell you APCheats not to bother contesting because they will be trounced.

This is a direct message to APC leaders that Bayelsa state will not succumb to the divide and rule antics of APC.

with the way other parts of this country are siphoning their resources away how can they become dubai?

The bayelsa 2019 Gubernatorial race is open to both parties. There are so many factors that could affect the outcome of the elections
* The INEC Consanguinity effect
* The supposed PDP exodus to the APC
* The presidential effect
* The main elections externality effect
With this and other factors unmentioned the PDP should not rest on its oars but instead should spend this preelection days wisely
