Goodluck Jonathan was used by APC against PDP,
Bayelsa Governor Dickson Alleged,


Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has described Saturday’s governorship election in the state as a military coup. He claimed that the election was a charade and a carefully orchestrated plan to forcefully take over Bayelsa state towards entrenching a one-party system.

Governor Dickson further alleged that former President Goodluck Jonathan was used by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election.

He said the endorsement of governor-elect, David Lyon (APC) by Jonathan was regrettable and a part of the ploy by the APC to strategically take over the state.

While addressing a world press conference in Yenagoa on Tuesday, Dickson stated that PDP would challenge the result of November 16 Bayelsa governorship election in court.

According to him, the PDP did not lose the election as it was characterised by violence and widespread malpractices, which were carefully documented.

 

“Our candidate, Sen. Douye Diri and the party chairman have been speaking about the charade called election that took place in Bayelsa on Saturday, and the invasion of our state by security forces.

“The dehumanisation of our people and how the majority of the areas and in places, where our people were denied the right to vote for the candidate of their choice.

    That is not true. It is the incumbent governor selfishness and persona decisions and interest that cause the party failure
