Dickson Breaks INEC Rules, Visits Oporoma on Election Day
Report reaching the Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation of the APC indicates that Governor Seriake Dickson, early this morning led a large delegation to Oporoma, headquarters of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, to protest against the rescheduled election.
Governor Dickson is from Sagbama Local Government Area and has no basis going to monitor conduct of an election in another Local Government Area on an election day in line with the electoral guidelines.
This is clearly an act of desperation by the Governor, who is the candidate of the PDP in the election.
Dickson, in company of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Kombowei Benson, who is from the LGA reportedly met with INEC officials on the ground and told them not to go ahead with the poll.
The INEC officials had reportedly to the Governor, he had no powers to stop the election.
Governor Dickson was the chief sponsor of violent attacks in most of the communities.
