Social activist and acclaimed Leader of Niger
Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahideen Dokubo-Asari, has vowed that
the Ijaw nation will not allow Governor Henry Seriake Dickson and former President
Goodluck Jonathan to be disgraced by losing the December 5 gubernatorial
election to the main opposition party in the state, All Progressives Congress,
APC.
Dokubo spoke on
Tuesday when Governor Dickson formally declared his intention to seek re-election
on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Acclaim
“We Ijaws don’t
run away from our enemies. Jonathan did a lot for all those who have turned
against us. Nobody, wherever he is, can move the Ijaw nation. We’ve never been
conquered, the British knows this fact. This fight is beyond Henry Seriake
Dickson, it is beyond you and me, it is for all. He will never be disgraced on
December 5. They have boasted that they have control of the Army, INEC, Police,
Navy and SSS. But we will meet in the battlefield on election day.”
While speaking at
the occasion, Governor Dickson vowed that his government will wind up the APC
on December 5 when the election would take place.
In his
declaration held in Yenagoa, at the popular Samson Siasia Stadium, the governor
said even though the opposition is relying on federal might, security agencies
and and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to assist them to
rig election,”Bayelsa has no room for APC.”
