There are indications that the Bayelsa state governor Seriake Dickson is sending emissaries to reach out to politicians who decamped to the All Progressives Congress in order to ensure that they drop their ambition and support his second term bid.
This latest move by the camp of the governor was made known to us through  sources that preferred anonymity. The sources said the governor is jittery over the emergence of Timi Alaibe in the Bayelsa governorship race and is afraid of his profile which they  agree is bringing political gains to the All Progressives Congress APC in Bayelsa state.
Timi Alaibe while returning his nomination form had sited the insensitivity of the governor to the plight of the people and his mediocre style of governance as reasons why he and his supporters left the Peoples Democratic Party PDP. He had also said governors that have ruled the state have made the state suffer due to the fact that they were never prepared for governance.
The former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC according to the source, however was said to have declined the request by the governor and his emissaries describing it as the wish of a drowning man. The source said the APC governorship aspirant is ready for the primaries and has the belief that he will win the primaries and kick out the underperforming governor from the Creek Haven. “I thought they said he was not on ground? Why is he going about sending people to ask our Principal and his supporters to remember that we are all Ijaws? Is it now that he smells defeat that he will remember we are Ijaws? Our Principal and next governor of Bayelsa state is a disciplined party man as exemplified by his previous records and there is just no way he will disappoint his teeming supporters and party by acceding to the request of the governor that he stands down his governorship ambition in order to save the face of the Ijaw nation” The source stressed.
He advised the people of Bayelsa state and its residents to remain faithful to the change promised by the APC which he said is getting better by the day while assuring that by the grace of God the governor will be rooted out of office along with his mediocre team.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
