Ex-Rep To Dickson: Account For N660bn Bayelsa Revenue From FG | #Nigeria

A two-time member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Warman Ogoriba, on Wednesday asked Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State to explain to the people of the state what he did with over N660billion his administration received from the Federation Account.
Ogoriba, who recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for All Progressive Congress, alleged that there was nothing on ground to show that the state has so far received that kind of money.
He said: “Governor Seriake Dickson does not have respect for his people. He is authoritarian, he feels he knows everything and does not want to listen to anyone.
“Since Dickson became governor, he has never inaugurated any tangible project. He is also disconnected from the people as he does not interact with his people to get quality information that will help his government.
“As at last month, July, Bayelsa has received N660billion from the Federal Government, excluding the revenues generated from the state. I have the proof and it can be verified. We demand Dickson to show the world what he has used the money for and what kind of development he has done.
“The governor has lost the people’s trust. Any government that has lost the trust of his people is a failed government”.
The former lawmaker declared that President Muhammadu Buhari has the capacity to give Nigerians the change they deserved, adding that he has demonstrated his leadership prowess and desire to put smiles on the faces of the citizens.
He also urged the people of the Niger Delta not to despair, saying President Buhari had their interest at heart.
“I have confidence that Buhari would bring development to the Niger Delta. Yes, I am very sure of that. Even within these few months he became President, take a look at the Ogoni issues.
“He asked for the report of the clean-up of Ogoni and if Buhari is not fair, he would not appoint his Special Adviser from the Niger Delta and also continue to effect the amnesty programme. I think he would be fair to the Niger Delta region because of its importance to Nigeria and all other important regions of the country”, he said.
