Governor Seriake Dickson lauds Bayelsans for standing up and protecting their votes in the guber election, adding: “we’ll resist subversion of peoples will”
SERIAKE Dickson, governor of Bayelsa State, has commended the good people of Bayelsa State for standing up to be counted by protecting their votes so far in last Saturday’s governorship.
He premised the commendation on the fact that they came enmasse to defend their votes in the face of intimidation, harassment, killings of innocent voters and ballot snatching by the Nigeria military and APC thugs in Brass and Southern Ijaw LGAs.
Governor Dickson was full of praise for the people for their courage, stressing that, the cancellation of the elections in Southern Ijaw could not have happened without the resilience and courage of Bayelsans in defending democracy and the Ijaw nation.Dickson in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, on Monday evening in Yenagoa,,stated that the cancellation has further vindicated him, having earlier urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies not to go ahead with the election in Southern Ijaw in the light of clear cases of insecurity created by the APC members, who were jittery and were losing in the results collated from seven out of eight local government areas.
