Forget PDP winning 2019 Presidential Election: Gov. Seriake Dickson

Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, yesterday dimmed hope on the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rebounding in the 2019 presidential election.

He expressed doubt that the party would emerge victorious during the forthcoming presidential poll, saying some forces within the major opposition party in the country are tearing it apart.

According to Governor Dickson, though the PDP is expected to form a strong opposition for a viral democracy, the anti-democratic forces within the PDP are against a cohesive and a strong party that would take over power at the centre.

Dickson who made this known during a media chat at the governor’s conference room in the Government House, Yenagoa, yesterday evening said the major problem of the forces within the party is selfishness and egoism.

He noted that if nothing is done to address the problems, the party would not bounce back
