Bayelsa state Governor, Seriake Dickson, on Tuesday told newsmen that former President Goodluck Jonathan has endorsed him for re-election.
Dickson made the disclosure while speaking during a news conference at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos. He said, ''Patience Jonathan is not my enemy. I’m not aware she’s sponsoring any candidate against me. Former President Jonathan believes I should be re-elected. He is my elder brother''.
Speaking on the defections that hit the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, the governor said, ''All those who defected are my contractors. Would you call someone who gave you a contract your enemy? They are positioning themselves for federal appointments, as my party cannot give them that.
“I have faced stiffer opposition in the past and I came out victorious. The PDP is solidly on the ground in Bayelsa and nothing can shake it. In the past 16 years, Bayelsa has always been with the ruling party. That is why some of them are going to the APC. It’s all part of politics. The defectors are not my enemies.”
