The immediate past governor of Bayelsa State, Hon Seriake Dickson has said that the historical verdict of the nation apex court on the Bayelsa Governorship dispute only averted a catastrophe that was waiting to erupt in the state.
He commended the Justices of the court for the bold decision to wrest the judiciary from needless opprobrium and standing in defense of democracy, the rule of law and the constitution. A statement by the Media Aide to the former governor, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei, quoted him as having made the comment while reacting to the Supreme Court judgment on Wednesday. He said, “today I want to give God all the glory who has vindicated me, the loyal leaders of the party, the dignity and integrity of the electorates of Bayelsa because the Supreme court has averted a major catastrophe, a disaster that was waiting to happen.
