BAYELSA: Gov Dickson Already Suffering ‘Withdrawal Syndrome’ Ahead Of Poll – Oshiomhole

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, on Monday, claimed that outgoing Bayelsa Governor, Seriake Dickson, was already suffering from the “withdrawal syndrome facing any governor close to the end of his tenure.”

Speaking during the flag-off of APC’s campaign in Ogbia town, Ogbia LGA, in Bayelsa, Oshiomhole assured Governor Dickson that the party’s candidate will not witch-hunt him if elected in the November 16 governorship election in the state.

Oshiomhole also said APC’s David Lyon will correct all “the wrongs” committed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa if elected into office.

“APC is coming to right the wrongs of the PDP government in Bayelsa state, come Nov. 16.

“The APC government, under David Lyon, will work assiduously to provide security, employment and empowerment for all Bayelsa people,” he said.

Oshiohole said, “I understand that my dear friend, the outgoing governor of Bayelsa, is already visited by the withdrawal syndrome facing any governor close to the end of his tenure.

“I want to assure him, on behalf of our candidate, Lyon, that he is not coming to chase him away or witch-hunt him; our candidate is only coming to correct his wrongs.

“Our desire is to see that the people of Bayelsa will witness greater development and sustainable growth,” he said.

He assured the Bayelsa people of APC’s readiness to enthrone positive change in the state.

“APC is coming to make a difference in Bayelsa; Lyon will not betray those who stand by him; he will carry the youth along; he understands the language of poverty.

“Lyon understands the deprivation which this state and people of the South-South went through, and that is why he decided to fight for justice,” he said.

In his speech, Lyon promised to evolve policies that would bring remarkable development to the state, adding that he will revive the Kolo Creek gas turbine to ensure adequate power supply in the state.

“I am a man of my words; I will not fail my people; Bayelsa’s money will be used for the good of all; I am coming to serve my people and not for them to serve me.

“There is insecurity in Bayelsa at the moment; we will handle it adequately; I will work for the development of our state.

“We shall ensure adequate power supply in Bayelsa; our gas turbine will be revived under my government,” he said.
