Leave Me, Jonathan Out Of Your Mischief – Dickson Cautions Governorship Hopefuls

By Editor

Governor Serikae Dickson has cautioned politicians angling to succeed him against creating false narratives to divide him with Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as he on Sunday denied a publication directed against the immediate past president of the country.

Vowing to keep the cordiality with President Jonathan, Governor Dickson cautioned his aides against involving in media insinuations as he urged them to keep to the duty of promoting the good works of the government.

Speaking through his special adviser on media relations, Fidelis Soriewi, the governor condemned the acerbic attack on the former President fingered desperate politicians and their cronies who according to him, were reacting to the outcome of meetings and consultations between the Governor and the former President on the issue of the aspirants in the forthcoming primaries.

He appealed to all aides and supporters to devote their energy to  the propagation of the politics and numerous programmes of the government.

He also advised the good people of the state to be wary of the sinister antics of desperate politicians who have devised a strategy of division in the PDP as their political lifeline in the state.

“Our attention has been drawn to a scurrilous publication targeted at the former President. We have also seen the reaction from people suspected to be the former President’s publicists. We decry the situation where politicians seeking to contest the governorship election in the state sponsor parallel publications against the governor, his government and his team, and the former President and his family and his team, thereby deepening and taking advantage of disagreement and fault lines in the state.

“We have read the publication by the PDP Youth Network and we condemn any attack on the former President. Our suspicion from all preliminary enquiries is pointing in the direction of some desperate gubernatorial aspirants who are doing everything possible to deepen division in the state especially between the Governor and the former President for their own selfish advantage.

“They are doing this because they are aware  of the meetings and consultations a few days ago, between the governor and the former President  and the governor’s statement concerning the ambitions of some politicians.

“Our suspicion is that those desperate aspirants are sponsoring publications to take advantage of supposed disagreement between the two leaders of the PDP. The government urges the political aspirants to leave the governor and the former President out of the Governorship race and concentrate on what they would do; their agenda for the people of the state,” he said.

The Governor’s Media Aide   stressed that the government had no hand in the opinion article which misrepresented part of the historical facts of Bayelsa.

He stated for instance that the governor sat with the former President at the burials of Chief Gordon Bozimo and former Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha.

He also cautioned all aides and supporters to concentrate on propagating the politics and programmes of the state which are two numerous to mention.

He urged the people not to fall for the antics of such desperate politicians who have devised clearly, a strategy of division in the party.

Soriwei who said that it was not in the character of the governor to make public any assistance to people in Bayelsa, the Ijaw nation and indeed the country public, said that there was so much anger in the PDP because of the desperate activities of desperate politicians.
