Less than five days to the Saturday governorship election in Bayelsa State, Governor Seriake Dickson Monday night boasted the All Congress (APC) cannot match the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) at the weekend governorship election.
Dickson who stated this during a live media chat in Yenagoa, said his confidence of the landslide victory for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was hinged on the overwhelming support shown by the people during the constituencies based campaigns of the party.
He said the dominance of the PDP in Bayelsa politics was not under any threat from the APC and lauded the performance of his administration especially in the area of enthroning a tolerant political culture that treats all politicians including the opposition with respect. Dickson said the campaigns of the various political parties have been smooth without any incidence of violence and killings because of the deliberate policy of years of sustained investment in security by his administration.
“Investments have been made in security and stability over the years by this government. Even though we are counting days to a governorship election, an election that has generated a lot of interest, it is gratifying that our state is still very calm, peaceful and stable. “And that is the evidence of the investments that my government has been making in the last close to eight years, which is why we will continue to remain one of the most peaceful and stable states in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “Few days to a governorship election, for the first time, we are seeing a Bayelsa that is calm”.
