Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson yesterday accused his opponent in the government election, Chief Timipre Sylva, of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of engaging in extreme callous politicking.
Dickson also indicated that the souls lost in the election, deaths he said were not necessary, sobered him, which made him not to celebrate his victory.
“Whenever I think of the deaths of our own people, most of them killed because they supported me, I feel terribly sad and asked the people of the state that although their will prevailed and I won, we have to keep it low as a mark of honour to those souls who deserve to live and benefit from the democracy they contributed to enthrone.
He noted during an interactive session with editors in Abuja that given the number of people who died during the election and the fact that the violence which characterised the election had been traced to the APC, he had wished Sylva would congratulate him, allow reconciliation and let peace prevail in the state.
