He
stated that the governor had performed very well in his first tenure,
adding that it was only necessary that he was allowed to continue in
office for another term."One of the things that Governor Dickson has
delivered on is security."He has put in place a frame work for data
gathering in an organised and empirical manner in crime", he said.

listed other areas in which Dickson had made modest achievements to
include, education, infrastructure, diversification of the state
economy, tourism, health and human capacity development.
Others
are promotion of good governance, judiciary, transport, agriculture,
power and sport development, “If one person in a single administration
is able to achieve these developmental strides, what else do Bayelsans
want if not to return our governor for second term?"We urge all and sundry to support Governor Dickson for a second term in office because Bayelsa will remain in safe hands", he said
