Bayelsa Guber: Bayelsa youths urge PDP, Gov Dickson to emulate Jonathan, concede defeat

Chief David Lyon

Niger Delta Youth Coalition for Peace and Progress (NDYCPP) has urged the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Gov Seriake Dickson to emulate ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and concede defeat.

Mr Henry Nabena, Bayelsa chapter Chairman gave the advice on Tuesday in an interview in reaction to the just concluded governorship election in Yenagoa.
The youth group applauded the peaceful conduct of the electorate who voted in the November 16 governorship polls and maintained that Dickson should toe the line of Jonathan his political godfather and learn to be a statesman.
The youths commended the security agencies for effective security cover for the election which went against the prediction that the polls would be marred by violence and turned out relatively peaceful.
“We commend INEC for their performance in this election, they should sustain this record and improve on it.
“We equally applaud the Nigeria Media for their balanced and factual reports of the events during the elections, even at the risk of their lives under very difficult terrain..
We call on INEC to ignore the crocodile cry of Dickson and the PDP for the cancellations of results from Nembe, Ogbia and Southern Ijaw LGAs as the elections conducted in those areas were remarkably very peaceful and credible.
Bayelsa people and the electorate have spoken through their votes and that is the voice of liberation, freedom from shackles of manipulation and we are very happy that both local and foreign observers have endorsed the process.
“We are proud of the state as Bayelsa people have proved the bookmakers wrong, our people have debunked the perception that we are violent, that stereotype is false.
The result is a reflection of the wishes of the people and INEC should be commended for making votes count, Nabena said..
