Wait fess, how e take teach Dickson lesson? Shey e givam puna to D.ick his son ni

Secondus can't be said to be innocent of Pdp's troubles since he took office.

I dont think the party has had it worse under any of its leaders in the past.

Stop overating GEJ he has not relevance. Even if he supported the pdp guy he would have lost. GEJ got into positions due to luck not political might

The flight of Icarus. A reminder of the disastrous outcome of youthful exuberance despite forewarnings.

Jonathan more powerful than the voters abi?

An Ijo man is a free spirit. Godfatherism can never and would never work in Bayelsa (as demostrated in this election). Johnathan is a statesman and his views are highly respected. If you're from or stay in Bayelsa you'll know that Bayelsa no be Lagos.

LordVarys:
For those who didn’t follow the buildup to the Bayelsa elections. Dickson disrespected GEJ and the Bayelsa elders. They had settled on Alaibe as a consensus candidate to replace Dickson.
Dickson who Jonathan brought out of obscure House of Reps and made Governor disrespected GEJ and PEJ and bribed Secondus to have his way in the primary and impose his cousin Diri on the party.

Not only that he disparaged Bayelsa East- Jonathan’s people (Ogbia, Nembe and Brass) as non core Ijaw and traitors. Whole thing has been building from senatorial elections which was why APC won GEJ’s Senatorial district in the 2019 polls with his support.

All GEJ’s allies and boys moved to APC and David Lyon is a godson of Patience. Jonathan did not campaign for the APC candidate like his wife and mother out of self respect but his kinsmen ensured Dickson was taught a lesson without saying a word.

Jonathan’s polling unit, ward and senatorial district all delivered for Lyon. Wike and Jonathan and their allies all worked for Lyon. Irony of it is Dickson refused o reconcile and make any concessions saying he could win on his own. He was thoroughly defeated.

All politics is local.

In 2012 GEJ used Dickson to remove Sylva. In 2019, GEJ and PEJ worked with Sylva to remove Dickson.

The PDP national leadership is an embarrassment. Why would you let the interests of an underperforming governor who wanted to impose a stooge supersede that of the former president and party elders in a state who has shelved their interests to back the strongest candidate in the party Alaibe.

Jonathan could have insisted on any of his loyalists like Igali being the candidate but he settled on Alaibe who was formidable and had the support of all. Obasanjo even joined Jonathan to beg Dickson and Secondus to let Alaibe get the ticket. But Dickson wanted his cousin.

Bayelsa people hated Dickson particularly Bayelsa East(Jonathan’s people) who Dickson called non core Ijaw. Core Ijaws are apparently according to Dickson the Sagbama/Ekeremor/Southern Ijaws of Bayelsa and the Bomadi/Burutu/Patani of Delta and as such only them should be in charge of the only Izon state

Keep your opinion please.

Hofbrauhaus:
Jonathan voted for PDP. But he and Dickson lost! Nobody taught anybody any lesson?

when I see comments like this I just laugh it off.you think politics in Nigeria is apc and pdp.....abeg!! After what I saw and heard last week,I decided not to stress myself over politicians.

it is like those who betrayed or disrespected GEJ are licking their wounds. saraki,dino, dickson and many more.
well, as events unfold buhari shall be the greatest politician in history of nigeria .

Which Jonathan? You guys are looking for ways to make this ineffectual buffoon important in this election. Did he campaign for APC in anyway. Somebody that publicly endorsed his useless party. Now im don fail yakata una dey idolise am.

Mind you APC has been dominating his constituency even before this election. So how did he influence APC's victory now? Was he able to deliver his local government for Atiku?

You that is not overrated, can you win your LG chairman election?
People will come to nairaland and be forming nonsense

Next case file 020: Dickson VS EFCC

if i have the backing of godfather yes

Politics is grossly local.
You can't love if you can't forgive.
You can't forgive if you can't accept mistakes. You can't accept mistakes if you can't be humble.
GEJ is humble to have accepted the consensus candidature of Timi Alaibe.
But, Dickson was full of himself and arrogant for imposing his cousin.
He however, was duly punished and taught a hard political lesson of his life.
Stay humble, you can't always have it all.

don't underrate that man,just the way I have been underrating ogboru of Delta State till I got the shocker. Politics is the more you see,the more you get surprises.

helinues:
Dickson is just too selfish.. His eyes go don clear by now

so Goodluck don use his hand bring this poison tablet called APC to his house !

he just forget that he may have feelings for poison

poison do not have feels for him

Politics is a dirty game and never trust even your closest friend or brother when it comes to politics.
Lyon or Paris whatever you may call him will disappoint his godfather's tomorrow, that's the game.

Nigerian elections are rigged consistently...the powers that be would need to be behind u before u can win

By their moniker, we shall know them. You are simply a shameless loser. You are lucky, otherwise kid like you deserves to be flogged by some of my boys in barracks

How did he teach him a lesson because as far as Bayelsa is concerned, they both lost the election to another political party.

The PDP I know will surely remove Second us before the next generation election...and for APC Oshiomole is as good as gone.

LordVarys:

The voters obviously didn’t want Dickson but the reality of the Nigerian political space is that the people vote how their leaders dictate, Brass will always vote how Sylva tells them, just like Ogbia people didn’t need GEJ to expressly tell them before they reacted to the perceived disrespect of GEJ by Dickson. If you’re from Bayelsa or had been following the buildup, the result would not have been a shocker.

No need to reply that boy, they carry partyfor head like zombie.
I knew this was going to happen.
Dickson thought he was fearless n tough.
He forgot bayelsans esp gej kinsmen still hold him in high esteem.
He forgot what happened in the Nass election.
Apc shouldnt just think they r creeping into south south.

DEGABA:

It seems like Bayelsans like showing themselves o.

Look at Sylver n dickson

LordVarys:

Alaibe would have won hands down. And everyone wanted him. The lack of internal democracy in Nigeria’s two leading parties means that the governors have their way. If PDP was a serious party, why won’t Alaibe not be the candidate. He was the consensus choice of the elders in the state, but no Secondus collected dollars and allowed Dickson manipulate primaries to impose his light weight cousin. PdP will remain in the doldrums till they get sense and get a proper national leadership

why didn't timi alaibe get a new party and contest...must it be PDP?

Jonathan should be hiding in shame. A former President that has become politically "imbecilistic" in a very short time. Just like Obasanjo, they cant even deliver their polling Units for their candidates. You think it is easy to be politcal gladiators like BUHARI and TINUBU. before you argue, Buhari has a fan base of over 13million as we speak. Even without campaigning in South then with rigging of PDP under Obj, he still had over 7million fan base alone from North East..........

Yeye illusionists

Always learn to refute claims with valid points. The OP backed his argument with very obvious and solid reasons, all you did was just spew beer parlour rumors all over the place.
13 million ko, 13 million ni. We're talking Bayelsa, you're talking Northeast.
