As the December 5 governorship election in Bayelsa State
approaches, Dickson is not a happy man as indications emerge that the wife of
the former President, Patience Jonathan, has thrown her political weight behind
the candidacy of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and
former Governor of the State, Timipre Sylva.
It was gathered that
in a meeting convened by Mrs. Jonathan recently, in Otuoke, she read the riot
act to members of her group, asking them not to support the re-election of the
incumbent governor, Hon Henry Seriake Dickson.
Enigma Reports learnt that the former First Lady
prefers Dr. Weripamowei Dudafa, ex-presidential aide to the immediate past
president, Goodluck Jonathan and Commissioner for Local Government under Sylva.
It was gathered that
Mrs. Jonathan directed members of her political group to support the aspiration
of Sylva.
According to those
present during the meeting, when some persons reminded the First Lady that the
former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had openly declared support for
Dickson, she told them that Jonathan won’t support Dickson when the chips are
down.
Among those who
attended the meeting, it was learnt were a former acting governor of the state
and chairman of the defunct Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) in
Bayelsa State, Hon Werinipre Seibarugu, Dr. Dudafa; former Commissioners for
Transport and Sports, Mrs. Marie Ebikake and Hon Ebikitin Diongoli, a female
politician, Mrs. Remi Kuku and a host of others.
