The Bayelsa State governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson and the former acting governor of the state, Chief Nestor Binabo, yesterday engaged in accusation and counter accusation over Binabo’s allegation that his life is being threatened by the state governor.

The former acting governor, Nestor Binabo, claimed that Governor Dickson threatened his life last week while addressing non-governmental organisations at the State Banquet Hall with an open declaration that he (Binabo) was his greatest enemy in Sagbama local government area.

However, the state governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson through the director of Media and Publicity of the Restoration Campaign Organisation of the PDP, Hon. Jonathan Obuebite, dismissed the allegation as a wicked lie and that any imputation to link the governor to such allegation was not only wicked but callous political orchestration which should be condemned.

Both Binabo, a leader of the All Progressives Congress, and Dickson, are from the same Sagbama local government area of the state. Binabo was the person who handed over to Dickson in 2012.

Hon. Nestor Binabo, alleged that Gov. Dickson was quoted at saying that an Okunbiri man who has joined the APC is his greatest enemy in Sagbama. “Everybody knows that l am from Okunbiri, close to Dickson’s community in Sagbama. I am an APC stalwart and since l joined APC, Dickson has been after me. This is the second time he is declaring me his arch enemy.

“I don’t know what he meant by declaring me his arch enemy. First of all I handed power over to him. I conducted a peaceful election and spent the resources to make him a governor. So, I don’t see why Governor Seriake Dickson sees me as his arch enemy. It is not a surprise to me at all, as a former deputy speaker, a speaker, and an acting governor of this state.

having moved to APC.

and more so from his own local government, he knows he has failed. And I think that is the primary reason he has continuously declared me his arch enemy.”
