The
Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Seriake Dickson, has called on all opposition
parties to support President Muhammadu Buhari.
Dickson
is a member of the then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, while the
President belongs to the governing party, the All Progressives Congress.
On his
part, he said he would continue to work for security, unity and progress of the
country regardless of the fact that President Buhari is a member of the APC.
The
governor said this in Abuja on Saturday while receiving some Ijaw community
leaders who paid him a solidarity visit and endorsed his second term ambition.
He said
supporting Buhari was important to move the nation forward no matter what
political party that produces the leadership at the federal level.
He told
him visitors, “I enjoined you to work with constituted authority because our
country must be safe. We are determined to support the federal system because
we must be sure that our country is safe.
“Political
parties aside, we must all work for security of Nigeria; work for security in
Bayelsa and work for security in the Niger Delta.
“President
Buhari deserves our support and we have to rally round him to succeed without
the issue of which political party produced him.
“We
can’t afford to fail because the future of our children and those coming behind
them is tied to the success of the government now.”
Referring
to the solidarity visit, Dickson said he was impressed by what he described as
the “well executed ambush” that only the Ijaw people could deliver.
