BAYELSA GUBER: PDP URGES ASPIRANTS TO FOCUS ON CAMPAIGNS; WARNS AGAINST ATTACKS ON GOV DICKSON

- I was neither attacked nor scolded by Dickson - Keku

By Tony Okechukwu

As Secretary of the Bayelsa State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, I want to again call on the 21 governorship  aspirants òf the party to devote their energy and attention to their electoral campaigns rather than indulge in acts inimical to the unity of the party as such subversive activities are capable of jeopardizing the unity and cohesion within the party.

I also urge all the aspirants to desist from launching acerbic attacks on the person of the Governor who has provided leadership and nurtured the Bayelsa State PDP for almost eight years.

With reference to a publication about a non existent conflict, purportedly between the governor and myself, it is quite unfortunate that a person aspiring to become the next governor, would focus attention on fabricating stories against the person of the Governor Dickson and officials of the PDP.

It is note worthy that our party, the PDP, has become the preferred destination of all politicians with genuine intent to govern the state because of the sustained sacrifice and efforts of the party led by Governor Henry Seriake Dickson and the State Working Committee.

I therefore call on Nigerians to discountenance the false story which I describe as the handiwork of desperate politicians out to sacrifice party cohesion in the pursuit of their selfish agenda.

Those behind the story are the same aspirants who sponsored five court cases against the successfully conducted Local Government elections in a surreptitious bid to disrupt the peaceful transition process as some aspirants would rather make the governor the object of their needless invectives in a political contest of which he is not a contestant.

I state clearly here that I  was neither scolded nor attacked by the governor for any election related matter and urge Nigerians to ignore the desperate antics of politicians who don’t mean well for the party and the state.
