“Why i visited Rivers state without a call on Gov. Wike” – Gov. Dickson …Says Over 40 Ijaws we’re Killed during February Presidential and Guber elections

The Bayelsa Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson has offered reasons why he visited Rivers State without a call on the Rivers State Governor, Nyosome Wike, saying his visit was a sad one to commiserate with the people over the killing of Ijaws during the last Governorship and Presidential election.

Governo Dickson alleged that over 40 Ijaw youths were outrageously murdered during the February Presidential and Governorship election in Rivers state.

Dickson, who made this statement through his Chief Press Secretary Mr. Fidelis Soriwei in response to the statement credited to the Governor of Rivers State that Dickson is trying to create trouble in Rivers state, said Gov. Seriake is a member of the prestigious Kalabari Ekine Sekiapu Club and said the Governor also visited Buguma in April to commiserate with the Amayanabo of Kalabari.

He said; “Over 40 Ijaw youths were murdered in the Rivers election in February, 2019. The only Governor òf Ijaw extraction in Nigeria, the Governor of Bayelsa State, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson, a member of the prestigious Kalabari Ekine Sekiapu Club, visited Buguma in April to commiserate with the Amayanabo of Kalabari”

“Before the visit, the Governor made efforts to reach his Rivers State counterpart, but when he couldn’t get him on the phone he contacted the Chief of Staff to Gov Wike to inform him. No new visit has taken place. When did it become a crime to mourn with the bereaved in Ijaw land?”
