Fayose hails Dickson victory, salutes Bayelsans
Ekiti State Governor,

Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed
the re-election of the Bayelsa State Governor,
Seriake Dickson, describing it as a demonstration of
the resolve of Bayelsa people to choose their own
governor and resist imposition of a governor on
them by the powers that be in Abuja.


The governor, who described the people of Bayelsa
as “worthy heroes of democracy that stood their
ground against agents of darkness that were
prepared to short-change them by imposing a
governor they do not want on them,” said Governor
Dickson’s victory was another vindication of his
prediction on 20 things to expect this year.


Governor Fayose said in a statement signed by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka that it was shameful that
several people were killed in an election in Bayelsa
State with eight Local Government areas in which
more than 20,000 security personnel, including
soldiers were deployed.


“If the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) could not conduct a free and fair election in
just eight Local Government Areas in one month,
one wonders how long it will take INEC to conduct
the presidential election that will be held in 774
Local Governments in 2019,” the governor said.
He lamented that the legacy of free, fair and
credible elections bequeathed on Nigeria by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of Dr
Goodluck Jonathan was already being destroyed by
the President Mohammadu Buhari led All
Progressives Congress (APC) government owing to
the APC’s desperation to take over all States in the
country by crude means.


“The people of Bayelsa have shown that their power
is more than that of the Abuja political oppressors.
They have shown that tyranny can be defeated
through the collective will of the people.


“I congratulate Governor Dickson for this sweet
victory. I salute Bayelsa people for standing firm
against terror. I sympathise with families of those
that were murdered and I urge Nigerians to take
note of the systematic destruction of democracy by
the APC government in Abuja,” he said.

Ok. We wish Bayelsans good luck in their choice.

And talking about election violence in Nigeria especially the SS zone, it appears they have taken covenant with do or die politics there. In the last presidential election, a lot of APC supporters were murdered in Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and other SS cities while the election was largely peaceful in the North and SW. My point, it's about the people and not about Abuja or APC. So, Fayose, shut up!
