ABUJA – Ahead of the governorship election in Bayelsa State on December 5, 2015, youth groups under the aegis of Bayelsa Youth Leaders Forum, BYLF, has passed vote of confidence on Governor Seriake Dickson.
This was made known by Coordinator, BYLF, Hon Ben Bara Ogidi, as he explained why his organisation passed vote of confidence on the Governor for his re-election, which Ogidi said was based on the achievement of the Dickson led administration for almost four years, and added that the governor deserves second term in office.
Ogidi, who has been an advocate of good governance and participatory democracy in the state, maintained that his association has also endorsed the governor based on the participation of Bayelsans in socio-political issues that concerns their welfare and wellbeing without denial of their fundamental human rights, which they did not enjoy under former governor, Timipre Sylva.
He said: “We are living witnesses of the massive transformation that Bayelsa State has experienced after Governor Henry Seriake Dickson was elected as the Executive Governor of the state.
“Our position on passing vote of confidence on the ‘country-man Governor’ is based on the prosperity, peace and development the eight local government areas of the state have seen for almost four years on a non-stop motion and acceleration basis.
“Our group also endorsed him for a second term in office based on his economic blueprint and achievement we have accessed and found commendable. The governor’s re-election will be good omen for Bayelsa State for another four years ahead.
“We have seen the revolution in the various sectors of the state economy, and Bayelsans are enjoying the dividends of democracy more than any administration offered.
“His policies have been objective and focused on issues that concern the welfare of the people, and they have also put their trust and dependency on the economic roadmap of the government.
“The economic empowerment Bayelsans have now is monumental and there is that sense of belonging of all segments of the citizenry in the state. Even the aged are paid stipend, and poverty is reduced drastically.
“Also first time in the history of the state the Governor has established the Izonebe Micro Finance Bank, to help farmers, small and medium scale enterprises business men and women to access loan facilities conveniently to grow and expand their business.”
However, Ogidi urged electorates to ensure the re-election of the governor for a second term based on the prosperity, peace and development they have being enjoying since the Dickson led restoration team took over power and administration of the state.
