By Tony Okechukwu
The Restoration Caucus of the Bayelsa State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Governor Dickson’s political family, has commenced the process for the selection of the party’s candidate for the November 16, 2019 Governorship election in the state.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Mr. Feynman Wilson, said in a statement on Sunday that the Restoration Caucus of the PDP took the decision in a meeting under the leadership of the State Governor, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson.
Wilson said that the meeting followed the successful conclusion of the three days fasting and prayer session which was organized by the state to seek the face of God on the critical issue of the selection of the next gubernatorial candidate for the PDP in the state.
According to him, three credible and respected members of the Restoration Team: The Chief of Staff, Government House, Rt. Hon. Talford Ongolo, the Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Kemela Okara and the Senator representing the Bayelsa Central District in the National Assembly, Senator Douye Diri, have indicated interest in picking the governorship form.
The Governor’s political aide said that the indications by the three persons did not preclude other members of the Restoration Team who have interest in the governorship from approaching the party to pick the forms on their own.
He explained that all such members of the Restoration teams who are interested in the governorship race would be required to present themselves to the party and the Restoration Caucus for necessary engagement after procuring the form.
Wilson thanked the members of the PDP Restoration Team under the leadership of the Governor for their steadfastness, discipline, dedication and commitment to the affairs of the party and indeed the administration over the years.
He stressed further that the Restoration Team which controls over 80 percent of the PDP in Bayelsa State was the only group that has the cohesion, strength and capacity to win the next governorship election as it has demonstrated in clear terms with victories in previous elections.
