Speaking on April 8, Wednesday, at the Banquet Hall of Government House in Yenagoa, Dickson stressed the importance of working with the PDP stakeholders across the country to rebuild the PDP with a view to making it a party to reckon with.

According to PM News, the governor also urged Nigerians to massively vote for the PDP in the April 11 State House of Assembly elections. He stressed that the party supporters should not allow anyone to undermine it.
“The PDP has kept the federal power consistently for 16 years. We shall continue to remain in the PDP, because it is the only party that, has recognized us. Even in these trying times, I call on all stakeholders in the party across the country to join hands to rebuild the party to make it stronger.
“Our message to you all today is that, we should stay the course and fight a good fight. We are going into another election this Saturday and we want all the 24 seats in the State Assembly to be won by the PDP. Let it not be said of Bayelsa and of the Ijaw nation that, after one week, we abandoned the party that gave us the presidency.”
Dickson praised Goodluck Jonathan urging people to give the president a rousing reception after the hand-over date of May 29th.
In a separate development Babatunde Fashola, Lagos governor, addressed the state residents urging them to “think hard” before making the final decision on the new governor.
