Loyal Governor Dickson vows to remain behind and rebuild PDP

by Ranti Joseph

Governor of Bayelsa state, Seriake Dickson, has joined the list of loyalists in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as he restated his commitment to remain loyal to the party despite the party’s loss in Nigeria’s general elections.

Dickson also re-affirmed his commitment to re-position PDP ahead of 2019 warning opposition parties in the state peddling the rumor that he would soon defect to the opposition in a bid to seek political relevance to stop it.

He said this at the monthly media briefing in Yenagoa on Saturday, stating that he is ready to join hands with other critical stakeholders to rebuild the party.

He said the PDP would no longer condone indiscipline and disloyalty from its members especially those that resort to cheap blackmail and propaganda to further their personal interests in the state.

“All the kinds of characters I have been tolerating, those days are gone. This is a new order. Most of the so-called people in Abuja from this state are major beneficiaries of our restoration government.

“If you have power, use it for the good of our state. A number of them have big contracts, which were given to them; which they have abandoned. And very soon, I am going to tell our people who most of those characters are,’’ he said.

According to PremiumTimes Dickson canceled the various contracts his administration awarded to some contractors for lack of performance.

“I hereby announce the cancellation of the contract for the construction of a model hospital in Kaiama that our government awarded to the company nominated by Hon. Waripamowei Dudafa which he has abandoned. The Commissioner for Health will re-award it to someone who will complete it.

“Also the contract awarded to Hon. Bekes Etifa is hereby terminated and the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure should re-award it.

“It is only our own politicians, who when they leave here for Abuja, don’t know that they have an obligation to support the home government.

“They think that development is only a matter for the government to do. And even as a government, we are trying our best to change our state in a way they cannot ever imagine,” Dickson said.
