Seriake Dickson, Governor of Bayelsa state in an interview with VANGUARD opened up on his political travails.
Speaking on the defection that hit the Bayelsa state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the Governor said, ''Yes some leaders of our party are decamping but you have to understand their background. Almost all of them who are decamping want to be governors and these persons know that within PDP they have no way of becoming governorship flag bearers of the party. For them it means going to another platform to fight for Governorship ticket to contest the election. But APC in Bayelsa is not a party on ground and do not be deceived, even at national level they are crumbling. You will see PDP will rise again very soon. APC in Bayelsa is a political party that has no membership following but has only Governorship candidates; the members are only governorship aspirants''.
When asked of his relationship with former President, Goodluck Jonathan, Dickson said, ''Very cordial. The former president remains my elder brother and my leader and we are working closely. If there is anyone who believes and is supportive of why I should be re-elected, it is former President Jonathan''.
On how he manages the excesses of the former first lady?, the Governor told VANGUARD ''I don’t know what you mean by excesses!''.
