As the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, commences the sale of nomination forms for the 2019 general elections, Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has called on all aspirants on the party’s platform to shun bitterness, violence, and rancour.
He urged them to go about their consultations and campaigns with decorum, a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Francis Ottah-Agbo, said on Wednesday.
The Governor was quoted as making the call in Toru-Orua when he received some eminent Bayelsans on a condolence visit over the passing of his mother, Mrs. GoldCoast Dickson.
Dickson said the PDP in Bayelsa State had never been associated with violence and called on politicians to always play by the rules of the party.
He also appealed to aspirants to approach the primary elections with an open mind and be willing to accept the decision of the party’s electoral college in good faith.
While stressing that the PDP will conduct a credible congress and primary elections, the governor called on the PDP leadership in the state to be fair to all those seeking elective offices before, during and after the exercise. – Punch
