Presently INEC Collation officer and party agets are awaiting Southern ijaw votes to announce winner of the poll.
This is even as Dickson’s opponent, Chief Timipre Sylva of the APC alleged rigging. Bayelsa has eight LGAs. The poll was held last Saturday.
The rescheduled election was to hold in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area but a shoot-out between security agents and ex-militants stopped the exercise as voters scampered for their safety.
Also, Governor Dickson, had in a broadcast yesterday urged Bayelsians to resist any alleged rigging plot by the APC even as he raised a commission of enquiry to probe the atrocities perpetrated by government officials.
