The Bayelsa Democracy and Development Initiative (BDDI) a social-economic political forum has described the Governor Seriake Dickson administration as a total monumental sham who has performed woefully in all deliverable of good governance.
The group has been unequivocal about Governor Dickson being unelectable since he could not provide basic essential social amenities and services to the State, and has now thrown its weight behind architect Reuben Okoya, who they believed could do better if emerge as governor in the coming election.
In the statement, Ekiyor Konrad, the Executive Secretary of BDDI, said there is an absence of clear vision by the Dickson-led government.
"BDDI has reviewed that state of governance in Bayelsa state and concluded that beyond the lopsided and late payment of salaries and wages in the state and the periodic uncoordinated awarded of contracts in state, the government of Seriake Dickson has not fulfilled the mandate given to him in 2012 to govern Bayelsa state," the statement read.
"It is trite to state that the main purpose of government is to serve the people through the state is still a mirage, while Yenagoa, the state capital remains an urban slum, a situation caused by the lack of a comprehensive development blueprint. Disorderliness and lawlessness in the state have become the orders of the day while the absence of governance in very noticeable."
"Having looked at the major players and jostlers for the December 2015 elections in the state, the BDDI believes that only a tested and experienced technocrat/ Administrator with a track record of service, talent, skill, integrity and courage can rescue the people from the current dangerous drift, knowing full well the resolve by the people to reject typical politicians."
