Days after Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state reportedly slammed the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan as a waste of opportunity for the Ijaw nation, an elderstatesman, Chief Thompson Okorotie, has revealed more.
Okorotie said the speech made by Dickson at the celebration of Ijaw hero, late Major Isaac Boro, was not targeted at former President Goodluck Jonathan or to make a mockery of his government.
He said the enemies of the Ijaw struggle were making frantic efforts to cause division between Jonathan and Dickson.
Dickson had reportedly said the Ijaw nation lost six years of opportunity in Nigeria
According to Okorotie haters of the existing peace in the state were behind the misrepresentation of Dickson’s speech at the celebration.

The Punch reports that Okorotie, who is one of the founders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Dickson only lamented lack of commitment to the ideals that Boro stood for as well as the significance of the celebration.
The elderstatesman reportedly warned troublemakers against causing political crisis in Bayelsa.
ZENITHBLOG.com reports that during the event, Governor Seriake Dickson had reportedly said: Governor Seriake Dickson had reportedly said: “We cannot play God who has been kind and merciful to us, particularly of late, but we ourselves, because our people were not committed to the Boro dream, not committed to the development of their own state, we have a habit such that someone is a minister, all they do for us in Abuja is how to undermine, blackmail, bad-mouth and bring down their own government, their state, that is the Bayelsa and the Ijaw disease.

“Till today, it has happened before and I have weathered all of that. Instead of people there that had the opportunity to work with us and ask the governor to come and ask what they can put down in our state, what I heard everyday was:
‘We will remove him, he must go, we have got someone to take over from him, the other person will take over’. Six years, we just wasted it.”
