Gov Poll: Era Of Changing Govs At Will Is Over In Bayelsa —Alamieyeseigha

Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, yesterday, said that the era of changing governors at will in the state was over and called on Bayelsans to rally support for Governor Seriake Dickson return bid.

Alamieyesiegha in Yenagoa at the inauguration of a support group for the re-election bid of Governor Dickson, Dickson Support Movement, DSM led by the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Kombowei Benson, noted that the state had witnessed massive transformation under Dickson in the past three years and lauded the Speaker of the House of Assembly and others for mobilizing support for the second term bid of the governor.

Alamieyesiegha said that the era of changing governors at will was over and charged “members of the group to go to all parts of the state to sell this good product, Governor Dickson for another term in office.”

He said: “We cannot afford to be changing our governors at will. Other states created the same time with us have only had two governors in the last 16 years. But we have heard four state governors. This does not bring continuity.”

The Speaker,  Mr. Benson, who is the Director- General of the Dickson Support Movement, said that the projects embarked upon by the Dickson-led government were enough to bring him back to office for another term.You don’t have big work other than a responsibility to sell our worthy governor. He has done well. Go out for the lost sheep, bring them into the Dickson Movement.

“This group is the brainchild of some right thinking people of the state. This movement is not here for any other business other than supporting the re-election of Governor Dickson.”
