GOVERNOR Henry Seriake Dickson's dilly-dallying over his choice aspirant in Tuesday's primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
GOVERNOR Henry Seriake Dickson’s dilly-dallying over his choice aspirant in Tuesday’s primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State has thrown key stakeholders and delegates of the party into a quandary.
But few days ago, the tide appeared to have turned against Diri with the immediate past Secretary to the State Government, Barr. Kemela Okara, now said to be the favoured one. This followed rumours that the governor had changed his mind on Diri. Some of them recall that Diri almost lost the Bayelsa Central Senatorial Election in March this year having lost in his own Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area. He was reportedly saved by votes from Yenagoa and Southern Ijaw councils.
Ayawei also has the backing of the governor. He reportedly waited for the right signal from Dickson before joining the race at the last minute. A party source, who is also a delegate, while faulting Dickson’s support for either of the duo, said none of the two aspirants is as popular as Ayawei to fly the party’s flag in the governorship election.
