Southern Ijaw: Sylva‘ll be humiliated again – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Restoration Campaign Organisation in Bayelsa State, has described as outright lies and false propaganda, claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has stopped December salaries of civil servants.
The RCO also denied buying up voter cards ahead of the rerun election in Southern Ijaw LGA of the state saying Timipre Sylva will be humiliated again during the rescheduled Southern Ijaw LGA.
The organisation’s Director of Publicity, Jonathan Obuebite, in a statement on Sunday 
said the claims by the APC were vicious propaganda on the part of Timipre Sylva to win election by hook or crook.
According to him, civil servants in Bayelsa State trust that Dickson won’t take such an action because they know him as “the most civil servant friendly governor who places premium on their welfare and general well-being.”
He added that when other states were owing workers salary for five to eight months and 
resorting to bail out, governor Dickson went out of his way to make the much needed sacrifice by cutting down on his personal allowances, including those of his aides and other political appointees just to meet up with the monthly obligation to workers.
Obuebite said, “Governor Dickson bluntly refused to apply for bail out but rather took the hard decision to cut down on all other expenditure of government just for the sake of Bayelsa workers
