—Bayelsa State. What could have happened? Here is a state whose governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, has often said that no federal might can reverse the will of the people to safeguard the state against the crushing might of the All Progressives Congress . Almost four years ago, he lived up to his promise when he crushed the APC during the governorship election.
So, what happened? So many theories have been bandied to suggest that high handedness and imposition of unacceptable candidates by Dickson and the leadership of the PDP were responsible for the defeat and not the might of APC or the popularity of Sylva as the party leader.
As a part of the proof that the PDP lost its grip on Nembe/Brass Federal Constituency to the APC, Hon Israel Sunny-Goli, the only APC member in the PDP-dominated state House of Assembly, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission after polling 41,150 votes as against 19,279 by Mrs Marie Ebikake of the PDP.
Sunday Vanguard learned that many of the political leaders from the zone had questioned why Jonathan and even the state Deputy Governor were not allowed to make input in the choice of candidates for the various elections in the area. A group, Ogbia Renaissance, had, before the elections, raised the alarm that political associates of Jonathan were working against the interest of the PDP and called for disciplinary action against them by the leadership of the party in the state.
Also some PDP leaders in Ogbia Local Government insisted that the blame for the not-so- impressive performance of the party in the presidential and National Assembly elections rests on the door steps of the governor who they argued was fully in charge of the party structures and the entire machinery of the state.
