Nigeria elections: How Army carried out ‘military coup against democracy’ in Bayelsa – Gov. Dickson
The Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has alleged that the Nigerian Army carried out what he termed “military coup against democracy” during the just concluded presidential and parliamentary election in his state.
Speaking while presenting flags to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, House of Assembly candidates in Yenagoa, the state capital yesterday, Dickson, however, urged the people to turn out in their large numbers to vote for all PDP’s candidates despite the brazen intimidation and harassment by partisan security forces.
“Even when we sent Civil Defence Corps and mobile police operatives to the communities, the hoodlums and their supporters chased them away. I’m afraid that our communities are becoming a lawless society.
