Bayelsa State Governor, Honourable Seriake Dickson, on Tuesday said he would lead the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) towards ensuring that the baton of leadership is handed over to another PDP governor.

Governor Dickson stated this at a PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Yenagoa.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media Relations, Fidelis Soriwei quoted the Governor to have advised the PDP governorship aspirants to play opposition politics rather than scheming and causing divisions in their own party.

Governor Dickson reminded the people that, the last election showed how the Federal Government deployed its might to undermine the security of the state in favour of their party members.

He, therefore, urged the PDP aspirants seeking elective positions in the forthcoming local government council and governorship polls to embark on massive mobilization of people across the communities to achieve victory for the party.

According to the Governor, the PDP aspirants have a better platform to contest elections and should campaign on the strength of the party’s landmark achievements in the state.

The Government stressed that the PDP was the only political party with the popularity and strength to win free, fair and credible election in Bayelsa State.

The Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum cautioned that the guber election in Bayelsa would be a class of two systems: the PDP and its massive supporters in the various constituencies and communities and the APC, backed by Federal Forces to attempt wrest political control.

He urged the people resist any attempt by cultists as political to return to power in Bayelsa to retard the process of growth in the state.


He said, “Another PDP Gov will be elected in the next election. urge all the people to step into the communities and mobilize the people. It will be my pleasure to lead the PDP with your support so that another PDP governor will be elected.

“How we survived during the 2015 governorship election is by the grace of God and our mobilization skills. You now have people who know how to play opposition politics. As we begin the transition programme, we expect you to put on the toga of an opposition person.

“You have a lot of work to do. It is their work to sow seeds of discord but it’s your job to keep your party united, strong and stable.”



While calling on the people not to use former President Goodluck Jonathan’s name to destabilise the party, Governor Dickson pleaded with the stakeholders of the party to enforce the 30 percent affirmative action accorded women for councillorship positions.

Governor Dickson, who also raised alarm over the gradual decline of revenues from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), said the state’s earnings for March alone was more than N3 billion less, in spite of the increase in crude oil price.

“The economy is so terrible. We are praying that the country doesn’t go into another recession with the way they are going. Crude oil is being produced; the quantity is high and the price is even better.

“Since January your allocation has been going down. In January we had a shortfall of over N1bn, in February it was N2bn and we recorded a shortfall of N3bn in March. That is what we are going through. Throughout this year, your government has actually been in the red.”

Wetin concern us, if you like hand over to kowa party, you are still the same butch of thieves,

Walahi, seriously these people don't mean well for the masses..

Even if allocations drops by 2-3 billion, Bayelsa shouldn't be in red as insinuated by the Governor. If Ebonyi state is making verifiable progress even with the meagre federal allocation, Bayelsa has no right whatsoever to complain. Mr. Governor, I don't think you have done well.

Hmmm, if we can win by a margin smaller than Buhari's brain is a brainer.

This foolish Dickson sef na only God kno how much that fool for don embezzle for that state oil producing with huge allocation but nothing to weir home about btw when una sef give a dickhead like Dickson two terms waiting una expect
