Battle for running mate begins in Bayelsa PDP

Gladiators in the Governor Seriake Dickson’s caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party Bayelsa State are engaged in a battle of wit to decide the running mate to the party’s candidate, Senator Douye Diri, it was learnt on Thursday.

There have been insinuations even before the primaries that Dickson was considering Ewrudjakpor, who hails from his senatorial district, for running mate to pave way for him to go to the Senate in case the PDP wins the November 16 governorship election. A PDP stalwart and member of the caucus, who spoke in confidence, said Dickson would never think that way and would not make such mistake.

“The laws of equity, fairness and justice don’t support it. It is against the equilibrium required to balance things in the polity and the PDP.It was, however, learnt that the governor was considering Ogbia, the local government area of former President Goodluck Jonathan for the position as a mark of honour and a thank-you package to Jonathan.
