| Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson |
Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, on Saturday vowed that nobody would take over the state’s Government House by force at the forthcoming November gubernatorial election.
Dickson further proclaimed that the people of the state would never elect a godless person as their next governor.
He spoke at the conclusion of a three-day prayer and fasting programme organised by the state for the 2019 gubernatorial election at the Ecumenical Centre, Yenagoa.
The governor, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media Relations, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei, said that the position of governor was not for those who were poised to grab it by violence but for a person who appreciated the place of God in human affairs.
He said the state would never again experience governance by cult elements, crude and brutal human beings, whose aim is bloodletting, killings and violence.
Dickson restated his call to the people of the state to resist cultists who could use the temptation of political offices to lure the youths in dangerous occult practices.
