GOV. SERIAKE DICKSON – THE GREAT: ENDORSED BY BAYELSANS FOR SECOND TERM

Governor Seriake Dickson is rare gift to the Ijaw Nation......

I am not a politician but I have been close to people who are politicians. In Bayelsa State, I have been involved in what happens since 2000.

I have a profound knowledge that great leader are propelled by vision and pragmatic zeal. Governor Seriake Dickson is so generously imbued with these qualities. He is a leader so disciplined and so principled that accountability and transparency are his watch words; His daily menu is prudence; his vision every morning is the selfless contemplation of how to place Bayelsa State on the orbit of accelerated development, as a launching-pad for the greater development of the Ijaw nation.

He has built structures never before seen in our land. Bayelsans are happier now than ever. His second tenure in office will no doubt consolidate the gains we have achieved so far. Let’s give him a chance so Bayelsa will indeed become the Jerusalem of the Ijaw nation. We have never had a great leader, a wise governor like Governor

Seriake Dickson in Bayelsa State before. Let him take Bayelsa State to the next level in his second tenure…..John Idumange
