Deputy Governor, others join Bayelsa guber race
The aspirants, who are cabinet members of the incumbent administration of Gov. Seriake Dickson, on Thursday obtained their expression of interest and nomination forms at the Peoples Democratic Party National headquarters in Abuja.
He said the group and the PDP in Bayelsa were ever united, saying the movement actually opened the race to whoever that was interested.“People were expecting that by this time the governor will bring one candidate and say this is my candidate. “We felt that those that have interest and with capacity to administer the state should show interest and we proceed from there.”It is the primary that will decide who becomes the candidate. All we are doing is to show that we are interested so there are no cracks,” he said.
“If you love the state you will not change the vision; we will develop infrastructure; we have set all the basic foundation there; all we will do is to start building from there.
