Dickson Inaugurates 60 New SAs, Charges Them To Deliver PDP Guber Candidate

Bayelsa State Governor, the Honourable Seriake Dickson , on Monday swore in 60 new Special Advisers with a mandate to deliver the PDP standard-bearer, Senator Douye Diri and his running mate, Senator Lawrence Ewhrujakpo, in their various wards and constituencies  in the November 16, 2019 governorship election.

The Chief Press Secretary, to the Governor, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei, said in a statement on Tuesday that the appointees were put through some form of character scrutiny and were found worthy of being entrusted with the responsibility of Special Adviser having rendered selfless service and contributions to their various communities, the state and the PDP.

He said the latest appointees were joining the government at a critical stage when their efforts were needed to strengthen the support base of the party by highlighting the achievements of the Restoration Government with a view to delivering the PDP ticket in the election.

The Bayelsa helmsman who reiterated that no party in the state had the political presence and structures to wrest power from the PDP stressed that the opposition All Progressive Congress had nothing to offer Bayelsans.

He insisted that the APC was banking on using federal might, electoral fraud and violence during the polls to subvert the people’s will.

He said the SAs would be assigned portfolios after a meeting with the administration team from office of Secretary of State Government.

“You have been found worthy after thorough examination. Let me congratulate you all and tell you that you are joining us when the PDP is trying to shore up its base. Go to your units and wards and let them know what we have done with security and stability, hospitals roads and many others. On the other hand the APC to contribute nothing to the development of our state.

“They only bring violence, using federal might, to kill and chase away communities unlike he PDP which builds on the progress and development of the state”.

Swearing-in the two new Commissioners, Dr. Pabara Newton-Igwele and Dr. Godson Torukuru, the Governor Dickson congratulated the duo who he described as gentlemen of proven integrity.

Also, he stressed that they were appointed to serve in the highest policy making body of the state due to their many years of service and dedication to the people and state.

The governor, who assigned Dr.Newton-Igwele to the Ministry of Health, charged him to expedite action on the completion and equipping of the health centres across the 105 wards in the state.

He expressed confidence in the ability of the new Commissioner to succeed in his new task due to his passion for service, and reassured Bayelsans of his commitment towards providing affordable healthcare and reducing maternal and infant mortality rate in the state.
