Restoration Group Leader, Governor Dickson
The Governor Henry Seriake Dickson-led Restoration Group has swept the national delegates’ election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in all the eight local government areas of Bayelsa State.
The Restoration Team had earlier overran the Timi Alaibe Campaign Organisation and other non Restoration aspirants of the party in three-man Ward Delegates Congress organised by the Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi, on Saturday.
The Ward delegates who were elected on Saturday participated alongside other stakeholders to elect the national delegates of the party in the election organised by the Deputy Governor òf Abia State, Dr. Ude Oko Chukwu, the Bayelsa State National Delegates Returning Officer Monday.
All the ward delegates assembled at the respective local government headquarters to join other stakeholders of the party to elect the national delegates from the local government areas.
A careful analysis of the list showed that over 90 per cent of the names that emerged from the election were members of the Restoration Caucus.
Political observers have described the outcome of the election of the national delegates as a further reinforcement of the dominance of the Restoration Group on the politics of the PDP and Bayelsa.
