Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has asked his predecessor, Chief Timipre Sylva that he shouldn’t not nurse any ambition of becoming the state governor again because his tenure was the darkest days in Bayelsa’s history.
Sylva was stopped from contesting for the second term in office in 2011 by the Peoples Democratic Party.
Sylvia during an interview with journalists last Friday wasn’t specific about whether he was going to run or not in the December gubernatorial elections.
Dickson during an interview said “Sylva remarks epitomized those of a man, who has lost focus and not in touch with the realities on the ground. It is heart-warming that he (Sylva) is not accusing me of multiple crimes and criminality, secret killings, cultism, large scale corruption and brigandage which were the hallmarks of his tenure as governor of Bayelsa State.
“Sylva’s era as a governor of Bayelsa was the darkest in the history of the state. Bayelsans have become wiser and would not be cajoled or hoodwinked by his antics. If Sylva is a wise man, he would have seen the writing on the wall; that Bayelsans have since rejected him by voting massively for the Peoples Democratic Party in all the recent elections.
“As a clear manifestation of the people’s total dislike for Sylva, he lost in his unit, ward and constituency in the state and National Assembly polls, which were conducted recently in the state. These are ominous signals that he can’t be governor again.”
