Findings by our Correspondent

Our Correspondent learnt that PDP supporters in the state decided to cast protest votes for APC in retaliation for alleged disrespect for person of former President Goodluck Jonathan by the incumbent Governor Seriake Dickson by assuming the role of the leader of PDP in the state.

Ogbia local government massive votes for the opposition APC in a relatively peaceful Governorship election gives credence to the alleged protest votes against PDP just because of what a political pundit in Bayelsa called political “misadventures” of the sitting Governor.
