As preparations heat up ahead of the December 5 governorship election in Bayelsa State, the current governor of the state, Seriake Dickson has boasted that the All Progressives Congress cannot unseat him with its ‘noise.’
He said this, weekend, while addressing newsmen at the sidelines of the 2015 Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
Dickson, who was in company of a former governor of Bayesla State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, said the APC was only making unnecessary noise against his administration.
He said, “For all of us in Bayelsa, we know there is no challenge, contest or threat of any kind. All you have heard or read about us is all propaganda. There is no APC in Bayelsa to threaten us.”
Disckson further called on people of the state and other Nigerians to disregard the criticisms and unfounded allegations against his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, by APC chieftains.
He said, “I’m not here today for politics, I’m here to honour our father and also to celebrate with my friends here and others in the ‘regberegbes,’ particularly my own group, the Jagunmolus, and all the people of our country from far and near.
“I am very delighted with the colourful cultural display that I have seen here today. This is what we have been preaching back then, we want our children to know about our tradition and culture and to make them know that our tradition still has dignity.”
