Gov Dickson Releases Shocking Video Evidence Of How Army Helped APC Rigged Out PDP In Bayelsa

The Governor of Bayelsa State, Governor Seriake Dickson has released video evidence on how the Nigerian Army helped the All Progressives Congress rigged out the People Democratic Party in just concluded Bayelsa Governorship election.

Addressing a world press conference in Yenagoa Dickson described the election as a charade and a carefully orchestrated plan to forcefully take over the state towards entrenching a one-party system.

He said: “This was not the first time that we are having elections. People were killed, some ripped open and thrown into the river and up till now no arrest.

“As democrats, we believe in using democratic procedures in challenging what happened in Ogbia.

“In Ogbia, there was no collation done. In most of the areas, at the conclusion of voting, the soldiers came and rounded up everybody and forcibly took them to Ogbia town and asked all PDP leaders to leave to enable them to replace pre-written results.

“And so the results announced for Ogbia, like those for Southern Ijaw and Nembe were not real. “What has happened in Bayelsa is one of the most brazen acts of distortion and rape of our democracy. “What took place was not a democratic election. It was a military coup. It was the height of conspiracy by the federal government and security agencies to subvert the democratic rights of our people for the sole purpose of foisting the APC on the people. “It has never been like this before. In 2015, it wasn’t as bad as this. In this case, not only was the Army directed to take over our place, but to collude with the APC thugs to unleash terror on our people.”

“My reaction is that President Jonathan remains a leader of our country. He is at liberty to receive members of any political party but in the context of all that is going on, I know that the insinuations are not misplaced.

“APC came to Bayelsa to take his states and people by force. With the comments they are making about him, Oshiomhole coming to Bayelsa to praise Jonathan. What they were doing is laying the foundation to perpetrate fraud and violence

“No politician has stood by Jonathan more than me. They simply used his name and image to legitimize illegitimacy. I can see the strategic content. They used Jonathan to expand the notion of disagreement and after the rigging to go to him like Pontius Pilate to wash off their hands and put it at his doorsteps to say he sanctioned it…But let’s accord him the right to meet with other dignitaries.”
