Dickson forced his way into the INEC collation centre

Dickson Storms INEC Yenagoa Collation Centre, Threatens APC Collation Agents

Governor Seriake Dickson, PDP’s candidate in the Bayelsa governorship election, reportedly forced his way into the INEC Yenagoa LGA Collation Centre Onopa, at about 11pm Saturday night and threatened to ‘deal seriously’ with agents of the APC, Chief Werinipre Seibarugu, former Deputy Governor and Mr. Fortune Panebi, State Publicity Secretary of the APC.

The action of Dickson is clearly against the electoral law as he has no authority as a candidate to go to the Yenagoa Collation Centre, more so as he is not from the LGA.

The governor, who threatened to deal with the two APC agents, was at the collation centre to manipulate results being collated from different wards in Yenagoa.

The APC agents were said to have countered the moves by the PDP to manipulate the results that had been turned-in before some aides to the Governor alerted him of the developments at the Yenagoa Collation centre.

The APC decided to raise the alarm and place the information in the public domain as the Governor’s desperation in the face of imminent defeat is such that he is ready to go against all electoral laws.
