FEW DAYS TO BAYELSA GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION AND DICKSON DUMPS PDO.

With few days to the governorship election in
Bayelsa State, the chances of the current governor,
Seriaki Dickson had become slim following the
defection of serving commissioners and other
officials of the government to the APC on Tuesday.
The politicians dumped the PDP at the grand
rally of the APC governorship campaign.
President Muhammadu Buhari was represented
by his vice, Yemi Osinbajo.
Governors elected on the platforms of the APC
such as Comrade Adams Oshiomhole (Edo);
Aminu Tambuwa (Sokoto) and Rochas
Okorocha (Imo) represented by his deputy, Eze
Madumere, were all in attendance.
The event was further spiced by the presence
of the governorship candidates of the party in
the Southsouth states, who are seeking justice
in courts, such as Dakuku Peterside (Rivers),
Otega Emerhor (Delta) and Umana Umana
(Rivers) including Senator Magnus Abe.
Speaking for the President, Osibanjo said it
was time for Bayelsa to change from PDP to
APC to realign with the centre.
He said: “The time for change has come. The
time of prosperity, the time of good
governance has come. Don’t miss the train.
What the President wants is that you will join
what we are doing in the federal level. Bayelsa
deserves its pride of place among the states
of Nigeria.
“This state and its people are great. But you
must do the right thing. The right thing is to
leave from the PDP to the APC. It is time to
move. On Saturday, you deserve the right to
go to the polling booth with your PVC and you
will make that change on Saturday.
“After that you will have the right to demand.
You will have the right to ask our candidate
who will be the next governor what he
promised you. I promise you that you will see
a real difference.
“There will be job, progress in this state.
Everyone one of us looking for promotion will
have it by the grace of God. You will achieve
great things”.
