A group under the umbrella of Buhari Network of Friends( BNF) has declared that it has mobilized 6000 of its members across the state to muster support for Governor Dickson who is seeking re-election come December 5, 2015.
BNF led by its leaders namely Chris Otobo, (state coordinator), Liza Tokumo, (Publicity Secretary), Chief David Oweifa disclosed that of all the aspirants jostling for the number one seat in the state, the incumbent governor has the best credentials.
The group which stated that there is no going back in their support and readiness to participate actively in the forthcoming election displayed their Permanent Voter cards to buttress their point. “On our own part, we have done independent survey and the outcome showed that the candidacy of Hon. Dickson is widely accepted. We were formerly in APC and we know what we are talking about. Of all the candidates, Dickson has all that it takes to lead the state to the promise land. In close to four years in office, Governor Dickson has been able to prove his worth in the provision of infrastructure, education and health to mention a few. If these could be done in four years, he would surpass his first term achievements if re-elected. It is based on his achievements that we are endorsing him for second term in office.”
The Acting Chairman of the PDP, Chief Senera-Dokubo Spiff commended the group for its action, describing it as a morale booster.
He said that by their loyalty and support for Governor Dickson, it would spur the Restoration government to bring more dividends of democracy to the people in his second term.
Dickson in his comments reiterated his commitment to the development of the state, adding: “I am not ready to play politics with development of Bayelsa State.”
His words: “You have made a clear distinction between me and the other candidates, going by your endorsement and support for the restoration agenda and the Ijaw course, which is right and just, especially at this period of our political development. This is the Jerusalem of Ijaw nation and I will not renege on the oath I took on assumption of office close to four years ago.”
He urged the group to maintain peace during and after the conduct of the forthcoming election. This is just as he warned the main opposition party (APC) against name dropping, disclosing that they were wrongly using the name of Mr. President.
“President Buhari is an honest and straight-forward person that will not support evil in any form; but there is need for him to call members of his party in Bayelsa to order.”
