"PDP Produced A President Rejected by His People" – Governor Dickson Of Bayelsa
The Chairman of the PeoplesDemocratic Party National Reconciliation
Committee, Mr. Seriake Dickson, on Tuesday said it would be wrong to
accuse the party of being a religious or a regional party.
The governor spoke while addressing leaders and key members of the PDP in 13 states being controlled by the opposition at Wadata Plaza, headquarters of the party, in Abuja.
“Somebody even won the Presidency in 1999 and got the support of the party even though his zone, the South-West, did not support him. The party supported him and made him the leader.
“In 2011, a President from the minority emerged through the PDP. This is a party that is neither a regional nor a religious party.”He said it was only the PDP that had the capacity to produce a president, which he said it did in 1999, even when his zone, the South-West, did not support him.
The governor spoke while addressing leaders and key members of the PDP in 13 states being controlled by the opposition at Wadata Plaza, headquarters of the party, in Abuja.
In what some see as a direct attack at Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Dickson
said every member of the PDP must channel their grievances properly if
they want to remain in the party.
