Bayelsa State Governor, Hon Seriake Dickson, has said the state would not surrender to any kind of intimidation or bullying from the Federal Government.
He said said that Bayelsa was not just any state to accept such as it is the headquarters of the Ijaw Nation.
His words, “When my leader, our father and presidential candidate came here, I told him before the kings and elders of the state that he doesn’t need to campaign in Bayelsa and I am happy that our sister, our South South sister, Mrs Obi said it all.
“We may campaign in other places but not in this Bayelsa. This is the headquarters of PDP in Nigeria. Since the PDP lost power at the center, there is no state that has achieved the feat of winning the way we did.
“Don’t allow anybody to intimidate and oppress you people. They have changed nine different commissioners of police.
They say who can cause trouble for this man who cannot be shaken. As I was coming, I received information that a 10th commissioner of police is now coming.
“They will bring one and see that the person cannot oppress us here and they will change to another one. But the message we have for them is if they like let them bring a new commissioner every hour.
“They will fail in Bayelsa in Jesus name. Every security man, anybody in INEC, all know that this is Bayelsa, this land has never succumbed to oppression or intimidation.
“Not too long from now, I will personally take over all the campaigns here and we will lead in all the local governments and tell our people to do even more now.”
