The chairman decried lack of federal presence in terms of roads, bridges and infrastructural development in the state.

Speaking on behalf of other PDP governors, Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, said that Bayelsa belongs to the PDP and boasted that no other political party can defeat them.

“Sen. Douye Diri is the only one that can consolidate on the restoration government to take the state forward.

“I want to appeal to our people to vote massively for the PDP as we do not know any other party,” he said.

In his remarks, the governorship candidate, Sen. Douye Diri, promised to continue with the good works of the Dickson’s administration, to take the state to its amiable height if elected.
