The Bayelsa state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that Governor Seriake Dickson’s recent visit to the presidential villa, Aso Rock, was to beg President Muhammadu Buhari to join the APC. 

Despite recent political disagreements, Governor Dickson is known as a core loyalist of former president, Goodluck Jonathan

The party’s allegation was made through the Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation (SICO), in a statement signed by its Director, Media and Publicity, Chief Nathan Egba.

Egba who said the governor was at the seat of power without invitation, further said Dickson who sought to seek audience with Buhari, was also denied access to meet with the Chief of Staff to the federal government, Alhaji Abba Kyari.

He said: “Our sources confirmed to us that Governor Dickson went to beg the  presidency to forgive him over his derogatory and inflammatory statements during the election and to prevail on the APC candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva, to soft pedal in Southern Ijaw LGA to enable him win the forthcoming rerun election in the area.

“In return for that favour, the governor proposed to forment an artificial  crisis in the PDP at the national level and use that as a basis to decamp from his party to the ruling APC. His argument was that he recognised the fact that Bayelsa state cannot afford to remain in opposition to the ruling party.

“We know of a fact that this would be the second time Governor Seriake Dickson would be seeking to dump the PDP for the APC in the course of elections in thes.

“The first time was in the heat of the National Assembly primaries of early last year when he sought to replace all serving National Assembly members from the  State with his cronies against the wishes of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who wanted the performing ones to be returned.

“On that occasion, he openly threatened both the former President and the PDP hierarchy of his readiness to decamp to the APC  and using his past relationship with the APC National Leader, Sen. Bola Tinubu to secure tickets for his preferred candidates, as well as himself to defeat the PDP at the polls.

“Of course he got his way in that election with Dr. Jonathan despite sponsored verbal and media attacks against the former First Lady, Dame Patience.

“But unfortunately for Mr. Dickson, the APC unlike his party, the PDP, will not fall for such cheap antics and the officials he met with, clearly told him there was no deal. He therefore, had to return home deflated and empty handed.”

But in a swift reaction to Egba’s claims, the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a statement signed by the Director, Restoration Campaign Organisation (RCO), Jonathan Obuebite, denied the allegation.

He said: “Governor Dickson has no reason to defect to the APC in order to win an election that had ahead been won. We call on APC to accept the fact that they had lost this election. They have not only lost, they have also been roundly rejected by the people. No amount of propaganda, lies and deceit can change the outcome of an election that had already been won by the PDP.”

Recall that the Bayelsa state governorship election was held on Saturday, December 5, but that of the Southern Ijaw region was nullified by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the election was declared inconclusive.

INEC said the election was nullified due to violence, abduction of electoral officials and ballot box snatching in the area. Results already announced indicates that Governor Dickson is leading in the poll.

However, both Dickson and Sylva have been asking to be declared winner of the election by INEC.

lol..APShit!!!

These APC people can lie ooo!

Lying Liars!!

"No amount of propaganda, lies and deceit can
change the outcome of an election that had already been won by the PDP"...............this ain't 2011 PDP......the era of change is here......anything can be changed!!!!!

APC is pathogenic and cancerous in nature, When there is no other opposition to destroy, they will start destroying themselves.

Could this be true...

Hmmmm this story I smell mischievous propaganda.
How did Dickson seeking the audience of Mr President culminate to an arrangement to decamp?
Moreover if Dickson wanted to decamp, the more appropriate route should have been through the APC state chapter.

hibbayueei:
Could this be true...

This can't be true, it is balderdash

APC need to work on their propaganda skill as a tool for political warfare. Right now, it is in a mess.

Dickson leave trash for lawma biko

Dickson joining APC is like an upper cut on the jugular of GEJ.

This can spell serious opposition from PDP militants in the creeks

Then, the prophets to predicted crisis in bayelsa may be proved right.

However, this news has an atom of propaganda and lies in it.

IAMLOOSEWEIGHT

He said: “Governor Dickson has no reason to defect to the APC in order to win an election that had ahead been won. We call on APC to accept the fact that they had lost this election. They have not only lost, they have also been roundly rejected by the people. No amount of propaganda, lies and deceit can change the outcome of an election that had already been won by the PDP.”

INEC said the election was nullified due to violence, abduction of electoral officials and ballot box snatching in the area. Results already announced indicates that Governor Dickson is leading in the poll.

The big question is why did he go to Aso Rock to visit my Sai Buhari, The fact on ground is that APC needs to come up with an extra ordinary plan to win Bayelsa State because i don't see them winning that state. Any way the politics still boils down to the oil in the state.

Wayre pple, if all of them follow join PDP now, who go come follow APC contest in 2019??

Lies! It is not possible. He is winning already, so there is no element of truth in this story.

Naa dem sabi ooo.

Propaganda can never be separated from politics.

Hmm! I don't believe this story.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Thrash. For lawma

ok..

meanwhile, could this be true about PMB??
