BAYELSA ELECTION: JONATHAN STEPS IN, LEADS PDP CAMPAIGN TRAIN

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has led leaders of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from across the country to a massive rally in Bayelsa State.

The massive rally which took place at the Samson Siasia Stadium today, November 28, was geared towards setting things in motion for the party to clinch the Bayelsa governorship election slated for Saturday, December 5.

According to Leadership, those expected to grace the massive rally in company of Goodluck Jonathan are: the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, members of the party’s National Working committee, Board of Trustees, former Deputy Senate President Ibrahim Mantu, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and PDP members of the National Assembly among others.

The two main contenders in the Bayelsa poll are Governor Seriake Dickson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The political climate in Bayelsa has been tensed following accusations and counter accusations from both the Sylva/ Igiri cam¬paign organisation (SICO) of the APC and the Bay¬elsa Restoration Campaign Organisation (BYRCO) of the PDP over alleged harbouring of suspected thugs in Bayelsa Government House and plot to rig the December 5th governorship elections.

The APC recently accused the PDP of inducing rural dwellers with money in exchange for their Permanent Voter’s Cards. The PDP has however dismissed the accusations as baseless.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
