MORE THAN 100 MEMBERS OF THE APPOSITIONAL PARTIES JUMPED INTO PDP IN BAYELSA

Over 100 members of  three political parties namely, Justice Party (JP), Change Advocacy Party (CAP) and National Conscience Party (NCP) have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State.
On receiving them at PDP interactive session,  Governor Seriake Dickson urged them to be loyal and work towards achieving success for the party at all levels.
Describing the politics of his administration as all inclusive, consultative and collaborative, Dickson said the defectors joined the party at the right time as the days of needless media wars were gone, we are now one.
He also added  that ,“When you have all these elders in the state and you combine their experiences and advice, you will always succeed.
“It is when you get into a position of authority and you raise your shoulders and you say like the foolish man in the Bible that you have arrived and there is no tomorrow; that to me is the beginning of failure.
“And that is why I always commend the support and prayers that I continue to receive from a broad spectrum of the leadership of this state and beyond.”

“Bayelsans know that the PDP means well and they know that when we talk of restoration, we mean it. And before their very eyes in less than two years, the state is changing. For us in the PDP, what we tell the people is that this is just the beginning; you are going to see more things.,” he said.   Commenting on recent developments at the state and national levels, Governor Dickson stressed that there was nothing like the new PDP in the state as the law court had also adjudicated on the matter.
He, however, cautioned members of the party against any division between those at the state and national levels and shun any act that could tarnish the image of the people and commended the support they had shown for the President.
