Mr Kenedy Tonjo-West, Senior Special Assistant to
Governor Dickson on Niger Delta Youth Matters has described the relationship between
former President Jonathan and Dickson as cordial.
Tonjo-West told newsmen in Yenagoa on Friday that Dickson
criticised Jonathan’s six year tenure as a waste was false.
He said that those behind the rumours were up to a
mischief to cause disaffection between the two leaders.
He said that Dickson expressed disappointments over the
progress made by the region in the past six years by leaders of the region at
various levels of leadership.
“The governor in his speech at 2017 Isaac Boroh Day
celebration berated leaders from the region for their poor performance and lack
of support to his administration and that they had wasted the past six years in
bickering.
“There was no mention of Jonathan and they have failed
because the Niger Delta region is now more united and Jonathan is a leader that
Dickson respects and they have a wonderful relationship.
“Gov Dickson re-echoed that feelings of the majority of
the people and the fact remains that a lot of leaders have not worked to
attract development to the region and those affected are well known.
“You know we have a proverb that an old woman is not
happy whenever you talk of dry bones, and that is what we are seeing,”
Tonjo-West said.
He said that efforts at causing disaffection between
Dickson and Jonathan was not in the interest of the Niger Delta region and
advised the people to close ranks and support their leaders.
