According to the director of Dickson’s campaign organization, Jonathan Obuebite the rally which is tagged ‘Mother of All Rallies’ will hold in Yenagoa to garner support for the incumbent governor, The Sun reports
Obuebite noted that mega rally is coming after Dickson had toured communities in the last one month to spread the message of restoration, consolidation of peace and security.
Dickson’s campaign director stated that the governor will be handed the PDP flag during the rally as well as solidarity speeches by PDP leaders in the country.
He said: “Bayelsa State is the Jerusalem of all Ijaws and the mother of all rallies will showcase the unity of purpose of the Ijaw people coming together as one and affirming the collective interest and aspira- tions of the Ijaw race’.”
It was learnt that a group, Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) will attend the rally with the aim to send a clear message that December 5 gubernatorial poll should be conducted in free and fair atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Nestor Binabo, a former acting governor of Bayelsa state, had alleged that Governor Dickson was planning to kill him because he moved from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress.
The APC stalwart said that it was not a surprise to him on the basis that as a former deputy speaker, a speaker, and an acting governor of this state who is from the same local government and Sagbama zone as the governor, Dickson already was envisaging his own failure.
