There is serious tension and confusion in Bayelsa State as the Governorship election draws near.
The Peoples Democratic Party Camp in the state are still dazed that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience has refused to support the re-election bid of incumbent Governor of the state, Seriake Dickson, but allegedly throws her support behind former Governor of the state, Timipre Silva.
Dame Patience who is said to be at loggerheads with the incumbent Governor Seriake Dickson, who is seeking election in the November polls vowed not to support him at the expense of her husband’s wish.
It was learnt that the crisis is so serious that the former First Lady has vowed that she would rather back the opposition party’s candidate contrary to the wish of her husband.
Unconfirmed sources said at a meeting convened by Dame Jonathan last Monday, the former First Lady called on members of her group not to support the re-election of the incumbent governor, Hon Henry Seriake Dickson. She directed them to back another candidate in the race. It was learnt that when some of the people at the meeting raised observation as to the practicality and feasibility of working against Dickson since her husband, Dr. Jonathan had openly declared support for Dickson, Mrs. Jonathan urged the group to leave her husband to her to handle adding that nothing will make Jonathan support Dickson when the chips are down.
As at the time of filing in this report, eNIGERIA! Can authoritatively inform you that the polity is seriously heated up in the state; no one knows what to expect anymore…
