#BayelsaDecides2019: Dickson Lamments Kidnap Of INEC Officials In Southern Ijaw Says, Security Agents Connived With APC
The Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson has lamented over some INEC officials that were kidnapped in the southern part of Ijaw area of the state.
He also lamented that violence has marred the gubernitorial election in some part of the state.
The Governor disclosed this briefly after casting his vote at his Polling Unit 5, Ward 2, Sagbama.
Dickson alleged that the security agencies had connived with the All Progressive Congress APC to rig the election.
He said “As we are speaking, in this day and age, gun-wielding militiamen, with the aid of security forces, have overrun hapless electoral officials.
“Most of the electoral officials in Southern Ijaw, as we speak, are kidnapped and held hostage.
“This election, allow the people to vote. Anywhere the people of Bayelsa have an opportunity to vote, they will vote for our party. They will vote for the candidate of our party. The APC knows that and that is why the desperation is so high.
“Way forward, I call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, even though he has decided to look the other way since 2015.
”The President has to wake to do something. This is not a democracy. The observers are here and they know what is going on.
