The Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, rounded off his tour of
communities across the state in Nembe on Friday, sending the entire Nembe
town into a frenzy as a large crowd of people made their presence felt
during the campaign.
Traditional rulers, chiefs and the people of Nembe communities, including
Ogbolmabiri, Bassambiri, Oluasiri, Okoroba and several others were seen
in jubilant mood surging in droves to be part of a mega rally held in the
ancient town.
The Acting Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party, Bayelsa State, Chief
Serena Dokubo-Spiff, said the huge crowd had made statements that the PDP
was a party to belong to.
He said, “This is an unprecedented crowd never witnessed in the history
of politics in Bayelsa State and an indication of a possible landslide at
the election.”
Leading other prominent personalities from the area to receive the
governor and members of his Restoration Campaign Organisation were
Senator Nimi Barigha-Amange and Chief George Fente, who said their
support for Dickson was based on performance and on sentiment.
They assured the governor of their total support, adding that nothing
would cause them to vote for the candidate of the opposition.
According to them, it was pay-back time for the opposition candidate, who
they accused of failing to address their concern to have a road linking
their area to the state capital, Yenagoa, when he was the governor for
four years.
They commended Dickson over the multi-billion naira Ogbia-Nembe road, now
about 90 per cent ready, the newly inaugurated Izon Ibe Micro Finance
Bank and other developmental projects executed by his administration in
the area.
