- "The president has allowed common criminals and terrorists such as Sylva and Lokpobiri to unleash violence on their people," Dickson stated.
Seriake Dickson, Governor of Bayelsa State, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of allowing Timipre Sylva, a former governor of the state, and the Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, to “unleash violence” on the residents of the state.
He also expressed shock that the President has failed to take any action against the All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, whom he accused of causing mayhem, despite making several reports and complaints to him and security agencies.
In a press statement issued by Daniel Alabrah, his Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Dickson stated that despite several security reports tabled before President Muhammadu Buhari on the activities of the accused politicians, "the president has allowed common criminals and terrorists such as Sylva and Lokpobiri to unleash violence on their people, while the Inspector General of Police is sitting in Abuja to direct investigation of a petition against the Brass Council chairman”.
The statement continued: “At the moment, they are attacking innocent people in Brass, who are members of the PDP, with people bloodied and houses burnt all in a bid to destabilise the state."
He also accused the APC leaders in the state, including Sylva and Lokpobiri, of using the security agencies to shield criminals, as well as to intimidate and harass innocent citizens.
