A former Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, has asked the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to withhold his assent to the Petroleum Industry Bill passed by the National Assembly.
He said, “We believe that there should be a review of the legislation. There shouldn’t be a signature yet. President Buhari shouldn’t assent to it yet. Dickson lamented that the leadership of the Senate, led by Ahmad Lawan, frustrated efforts by the South-South senators to get the support of their colleagues from other regions to approve the five per cent host communities equity share.
