Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson yesterday accused his opponent in
the government election, Chief Timipre Sylva, of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) of engaging in extreme callous politicking.
Dickson also indicated that the souls lost in the
election, deaths he said were not necessary, sobered him, which made him
not to celebrate his victory.
“Whenever I think of the deaths of our own people, most of
them killed because they supported me, I feel terribly sad and asked
the people of the state that although their will prevailed and I won, we
have to keep it low as a mark of honour to those souls who deserve to
live and benefit from the democracy they contributed to enthrone.
He noted during an interactive session with editors in
Abuja that given the number of people who died during the election and
the fact that the violence which characterised the election had been
traced to the APC, he had wished Sylva would congratulate him, allow
reconciliation and let peace prevail in the state.
