Niger Delta Youth
Coalition for Peace and Progress (NDYCPP) has urged the candidate of Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and Gov Dickson to emulate Ex-President Jonathan and
concede defeat.
Mr Henry Nabena,
Bayelsa chapter Chairman gave the advice on Tuesday in an interview in reaction
to the just comcluded governorship election in Yenagoa.
The youth group
applauded the peaceful conduct of the electorate who voted in the November 16
governorship polls maintained that Dickson should toe the line of Jonathan his
political God Father and learn to be a statesman.
The youths commended
the security agencies for effective security cover for the election which went
against the prediction that the polls would be marred by violence and turned
out relatively peaceful.
“We commend INEC for
their performance in this election, they should sustain this records and
improve on it.
"We equally
applaud the Nigeria Media for their balanced and factional reports of the
events during the elections, even at the risks of their lives under very
difficult terrain..
We call on INEC to
ignore the crocodile cry of Dickson and the PDP for the cancellations of
results from Nembe, Ogbia and Southern Ijaw LGAs as the elections conducted in
those areas were remarkably very peaceful and credible.
Bayelsa people and the
electorate have spoken through their votes and that is the voice of liberation,
freedom from shackles of manipulation and we are very happy that both local and
foreign observers have endorsed the process.
"We proud of the
state as Bayelsa people have proved the bookmakers wrong, our people have
debunked the perception that we are violent , that stereotype is false.
The results is a
reflection of the wishes of the people and INEC should be commended for making
votes count, Nabena said..
