Former President Goodluck Jonathan, his wife, Patience, on Tuesday attended the re-election campaign rally of Governor Seriake Dickson at the Samson Siasia Sports complex in Yenagoa.
Mr. Jonathan, who endorsed Mr. Dickson’s re-election bid, said the governor remains the best candidate for the job and urged the people to support him for a second term.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Dickson expressed appreciation to the former president for endorsing him for a second term, adding that the rally marked the official commencement of campaigns.
He said Bayelsa was a predominantly Peoples Democratic Party state, having produced the state’s four governors in the last 16 years.
He said that Bayelsa people have no room for All Progressives Congress.
“They in APC have no message for the people, they will lose and we will win. They boast that they have police and INEC, but we have you, do not be misled by their propaganda,” said Mr. Jonathan.
He urged the federal government and its agencies to be professional in their duties to ensure a violence free election.
Mr. Dickson boasted that PDP has a concrete record of performance and pledged to run an issue-based campaign in the run up to the December 5 gubernatorial elections in the state.
Also at the event were Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and several deputy governors.
