Secondus stated”the need for alternative on the issue of the systematic failures of the APC administration to boost safety, growth and economy is likely to make the people elect the PDP applicants to pass necessary laws to salvage the country.

“The APC will fail in Saturday elections since they’re seriously fragmented,” and warned the military to concentrate on its specialist callings instead of being used for election duties.

Additionally, the members of the State House of Assembly representing constituencies under the West and Central Senatorial Districtsmembers of the National Assembly and political leaders endorsed the candidature of Hon. Seriake Dickson and Cleopas Moses.

Hon. Fred Agbedi, the member representing Sagbama/Ekeremor Federal Constituency said the candidature of the former Governor Seriake Dickson was agreed upon by political leaders of the district.

He also reinforced the turning position arrangement between Ekeremor and Sagbama Local Government Areas saying,”Don’t let them deceive you on the conclusion on rotation.

“There is nobody contesting from Ekeremor. It is Sagbama turn. We’re sending a trusted and tested hand to the Senate and not somebody who doesn’t understand the legislative enterprise.”

The Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjapor, who relinquished the senatorial chair of the Bayelsa West, informed the crowd of PDP supporters the current rotation arrangement between the two councils of Ekeremor and Sagbama remains a sacrosanct covenant.

“The APC senatorial candidate, Perebowei Ebebi defended the zoning in 2015 when Senator Heineken Lokpobiri tried to violate the covenant, saying that it had been the turn of Sagbama to do their two phrases.

“It is unfortunate that now, it is the identical Ebebi that is denying the existence of zoning agreement.

“This really goes to show that he isn’t trustworthy and therefore can’t be entrusted with all the people’s mandate”

He called on Ekeremor and Sagbama people to dismiss the empty threats being issued by the APC and also come out en masse to vote for the PDP senatorial candidate.
