Kinsmen of Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State under the aegis of Sagabama/Ekeremor Development Foundation, have thrown their weight behind his re-election bid, noting that the governor made them proud by transforming local government areas in the state through infrastructural and manpower development.
The socio-cultural group, in an open letter to the Governor which was signed by its President, Charles Dorgu, applauded Dickson for exhibiting transparent, accountable leadership and uncommon stewardship.
They noted that, they are proud of the achievements of their countryman governor, who clearly has left no one in doubt, that he has all it takes to lead Bayelsa State and indeed, the Ijaw nation to the promised land.
“It is an understatement to say our dear state suffered terribly from bad leadership and huge infrastructural setback since its creation over 18 years ago, until Governor Dickson was sent by God to salvage the people of the state from bad governance, especially from leaders whose stock in trade was supporting criminal elements and cultists to unleash violence and brigandage on the streets of Yenagoa and across the state,” they said.
The Bayelsans reiterated their undying pledge and unshaken stand to drum support for its son, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, as a credible, God-fearing, fit and proper candidate to continue in the seat of Governor of Bayelsa State for a second term, come February 14 2016.
They revealed that they are set to embark on a reach out campaign to mobilize the support of all sons and daughters of Sagbama and Ekeremoh, particularly those, who feel aggrieved as a result of dashed expectations in the last state and national assembly elections.
According to members of the group, all sons and daughters of Sagbama-Ekeremor, particularly the political class who felt aggrieved for losing out in the last elections, should return to the party in the interest of peace.
“It is important that we all come together as one people to let the governor know that the train has left tht the station and there is no going back and they want him to know that he will re-turn for a second term in office without hindrances, considering his achievement, antecedents and developmental goals.
“We therefore submit that all electorates, voters and stakeholders in Sagbama and Ekeremor should endeavour to co-operate with members of the reconciliation and contact committee made up of respected leaders and elders like Chief Thompson Okorotie, Chief Francis Doukpola, Fyneman Wilson and others, as they go round to reconcile those aggrieved people to forge a common front against the opposition party in view of the task ahead,” it said.
Dorgu further noted that the group under his leadership was saddled with the responsibility of mobilizing massive support for the Governor’s re-election bid through strategic engagements and cooperation with similar groups across the state.
