Dickson: I advised Late Bayelsa Deputy Governor to join APC
Former Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Seriake Dickson, has revealed that the late Deputy Governor of the state, Dr Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, remained loyal to him until his death, despite advice to align politically with Governor Douye Diri.
Dickson made the disclosure on Monday during a live interview aired on several radio stations across Bayelsa State. He said Ewhrudjakpo declined his suggestion to join Governor Diri in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the interest of political stability in the state.
According to Dickson, Ewhrudjakpo believed that joining the APC without him, his political mentor, would amount to betrayal, and therefore chose to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
