It is four days to the Bayelsa governorship rerun polls. And a picture of the direction the exercise may take has emerged with the main contenders, state Governor and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Seriake Dickson and Chief Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress (APC) trading accusations. These accusations were about not only the violence that marred the last exercise but also on plans still afoot to perpetrate mayhem on Saturday.
The governor said Sylva was employing security agents to protect and provide cover for criminal elements in the state. Dickson also alleged that Sylva has also been promoting violence in the state, as he had made it impossible for those who perpetrated the violence in the last election to be prosecuted but has rather been using the police, Department of State Services (DSS) and other security apparatus to support his party in their activities.
