Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon Henry Seriake Dickson, has insisted that he should be declared the winner of the December 5 governorship election, having won six out of seven LGs declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with a wide margin.
He stated this position while featuring on a live interview programme, ‘Focus Nigeria’ aired on Africa Independent Television (AIT). The governor expressed confidence that he would win the Southern Ijaw rerun election scheduled to hold in January.
His words: “I have been engaging with various stakeholders, chiefs, women and youth groups from the area. Again, over 5,000 members of the APC recently decamped to the PDP. With this development and assurance that, this time around, there will be no reign of terror and materials will get to their communities, I am hoping that the percentage of the voters’ turn out will be higher than the 40 percent that we have already seen as the average.”
He, therefore, stressed the need to strengthen the critical institutions of governance to enable them function effectively.
