Bayelsa Poll: Dickson Canvasses For Free And Fair Election, Urges Voters To Withstand Any Intimidation
The Governor of Bayelsa state, Seriake Dickson, had called for a free and fair election ahead of the November 16 gubernatorial poll in the state.
The Governor also stressed that the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, will record a landslide victory in the forthcoming governorship poll in the state.
Dickson who urged voters to arm themselves with their Permanent Voters Cards PVCs alleged that the APC might try to intimidate them with security personnel adding that, the voters should not be intimidated.
The Governor disclosed this on Thursday when the PDP campaign train of Douye Diri/Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo stormed Sagbama in Sagbama local government area of the state.
He said “in a free and fair election, the PDP is sure of a landslide victory in the state because the main opposition party has no structures on ground.”
“Today, the PDP family, leadership and candidates are here to celebrate and not to campaign. The way you supported me in 2012 and 2015 Governorship elections, I want you to extend that same support to Senator Douye Diri by voting PDP on the 16th of November.
“On that day, some people will cry and lament and they have started crying already. They have known already that they have failed. APC is not on ground in this state; they are not in any ward. In a free and fair election, PDP will win fair and square.
“What we have done in 8 years, they couldn’t do 10 per cent of what we have done in 5 years. They will talk about using security agencies to harass you but don’t worry, election is about usiñg permanent voter cards. What we preach in our politics is non-violence.”
