The issue was said to have assumed a dangerous dimension following the insistence of the state Governor, Seriake Dickson, to zone the slot to his western senatorial district in order to pave the way for the incumbent senator representing the zone, Senator Lawrence Erwujakpor to emerge as the running mate.
The stakeholders under the auspices of Bayelsa East Forum for Justice said having picked the candidate from the Bayelsa Central, it was natural to select a competent party man with requisite political clout and popularity from the East. “We urge our flag bearer, Senator Douye Diri, to name his successor from the East. We understand he is under pressure at the moment but he should do the right thing if we must win the election and the right thing is what he knows.
Also, Concerned Bayelsa PDP Stakeholders condemned in strong terms the decision of Dickson to zone the running mate of the party to his senatorial district.
