Massive Endorsement for Dickson and NDC in Ekeremor
The political landscape in Bayelsa State is heating up as elections draw near. In a major show of support, over 300 serving and former Youth Presidents from communities across Ekeremor Local Government Area have thrown their weight behind former Governor and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson.
A Strong Show of Grassroots Support
This massive endorsement is a big win for Senator Dickson and other NDC candidates in the region. Senator Dickson, who represents Bayelsa West, stated that this backing clearly shows the growing grassroots strength of the NDC.
He noted that this support remains solid even though he has been away from the state recently, focusing on national duties and building the party structure across the country.
Warning Against Election Violence and Intimidation
During his address to the youth leaders, Senator Dickson raised serious concerns about the upcoming elections. He warned against any attempts to intimidate voters or disrupt the voting process.
He specifically spoke out against the misuse of security agencies and political thugs to cheat during the elections. Dickson stressed that the power to choose leaders belongs entirely to the people, and that right must be protected.
A Call for Peace and Lawful Action
As the elections approach, the former governor shared a clear message with NDC supporters and all Bayelsans:
- Stay Peaceful: He urged everyone to remain calm and avoid any form of violence.
- Participate: He encouraged citizens to go out, vote, and be active in the democratic process.
- Defend the Vote: He asked supporters to protect their votes, but to do so strictly through lawful and peaceful means.
Senator Dickson expressed deep confidence in the growing wave of support for the NDC. He added that he eagerly looks forward to returning to Bayelsa State soon to deepen consultations and gather even more support for a total victory at the polls.
