Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, Wednesday said that only the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had the capacity to win elections in the state.
Speaking at a PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Yenagoa, Governor Dickson said that with the support of leaders of the state, he would ensure that the baton of leadership is handed over to another PDP governor, irrespective of the opposition.
He reminded the people that the last election showed how the Federal Government deployed its might to undermine the security of the state in
Dickson stressed that the PDP was the only political party with the popularity and strength to win free, fair and credible election in Bayelsa State.
The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum cautioned that the guber election in Bayelsa would be a class of two systems: the PDP and its massive supporters in the various constituencies and communities and the APC, backed by Federal Forces to attempt wrest political control.
“Another PDP Govermor will be elected in the next election. I urge all the people to step into the communities and mobilise the people. It will be my pleasure to lead the PDP with your support so that another PDP governor will be elected.
“How we survived during the 2015 governorship election is by the grace of God and our mobilisation skills. You now have people who know how to play opposition politics. As we begin the transition programme, we expect you to put on the toga of an opposition person.
“You have a lot of work to do. It is their work to sow seeds of discord but it’s your job to keep your party united, strong and stable,” he said.
