Super delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Bayelsa State, have endorsed Governor Seriake Dickson as the party’s sole candidate.
On Tuesday, the delegates made the endorsement at a meeting of super delegates at the Yenagoa residence of the Chairman of the Restoration Campaign Advisory Council and former Governor of the state, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha.
The super delegates numbering over 250, include past and present leaders of the party, political office holders (elected and appointed), some members of the State Executive council and members of the State House of Assembly, PDP State Working Committee, and the leadership of the Local Government Councils.
Welcoming his guests, Chief Alamieyeseigha noted that, the successful emergence of the Governor as the sole candidate of the PDP, affords the party the opportunity to carry out effective campaigns in all the nooks and crannies of the state without any distraction.
Consequently, a formal motion of endorsement was moved by a onetime State Secretary of the PDP, Captain Mark Opubiri Rtd, and was seconded by the Vice Chairman of the Southern Ijaw Local Government, Mrs Lovina Gboluseri.
In his response, Governor Dickson, expressed appreciation to the leadership and delegates of the party for the honour done him and pledged submissiveness to the interest of the PDP at all times.
He acknowledged that all the achievements of the restoration government would not have been possible without the support and cooperation of the party and well-meaning people of the state.
The Bayelsa State Governor, however, called on the members of the PDP to remain steadfast in their support and work to achieve a landslide victory in the December 5 election to further demonstrate the dominant position the party enjoys in the state.
Governor Dickson also used the opportunity to call on those, who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), to return back to the PDP.
