Dickson after my life, ex-acting gov alleges

A former Acting Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Nestor Binabo, has cried out that his life is being threatened by Governor Seriake Dickson.

Binabo, who spoke in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, on Monday, said Dickson, while addressing Non-Governmental Organisations inside the Banquet Hall, in the city, publicly declared that he (Binabo) was his greatest enemy in the Sagbama Local Government Area.


Both Binabo, a leader of the All Progressives Congress, and Dickson are from the same Sagbama Local Government Area of the state.

Binabo was the person who handed over to Dickson in 2012.

The Peoples Democratic Party has however denied Binabo’s allegation, describing it as wicked.

In a statement on Monday by its Director of Publicity, Restoration Campaign Organisation, Mr. Jonathan Obuebite, the PDP stated that there was no time Dickson addressed any gathering where he threatened that “Nestor Binabo was his greatest enemy as alleged.”

Obuebite said any attempt to link the governor to such allegation was not only wicked but callous political orchestration, which should be condemned.

Obuebite said Dickson was not the conventional politician, known for lies and needles propaganda and blackmail to score cheap political points.

But Binabo said he decided to cry out following attacks on APC leaders in the state by suspected thugs of the PDP, which had already claimed the life of an APC chieftain and left many others injured.

The APC leader said, “Dickson said that an Okunbiri man who has joined the APC is his greatest enemy in Sagbama. Everybody knows that I am from Okunbiri, close to Dickson’s community in Sagbama. I am an APC stalwart and since l joined APC, Dickson has been after me.

“This is the second time he is declaring me his arch enemy. I don’t know what he meant by declaring me his arch enemy. First of all, I handed power over to him. I conducted a peaceful election and spent the resources to make him a governor. So, I don’t see why Governor Seriake Dickson sees me as his arch enemy.

“It is not a surprise to me at all, as a former Deputy Speaker, a Speaker, and an acting governor of this state, having moved to APC and more so from his own local government, he knows he has failed. And I think that is the primary reason he has continuously declared me his arch enemy.”

In a related development, a former Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State and chieftain of the APC, Werinipre Seibarugu, has lost no fewer than 2,000 of his kinsmen to the PDP.

Seibarugu’s kinsmen were said to have defected to the PDP at a campaign rally held in Gbarain and Ekpetiama clans of the Yenagoa Local Government Area of the state.

Dickson and his campaign team were in the communities to meet with the people in continuation of campaign train. Agency report
