\n
\nTwo days ago,responding to inundated reactions, I tried to explain to my
\nreaders why I decided to support the PDP candidate in the forth coming
\nBayelsa State gubernatorial elections scheduled for November 16,2019. As
\nif by coincidence Facebook banned me for 24 hours and I just managed to
\nget out his picture on my story\u00a0 space without caption. Now that the ban
\nis lifted kindly lend me your attention here:<\/p>\n

Human beings have no value except in what they say they will do. They
\nare here as vessels of the Creator and their work is done by words
\n(primarily )which is an indication of their commission from above. The
\nwords they declare in public binds them to it’s fulfilment more than the
\nsilence they emit. Because every manifestation or forming here on Earth
\nis organised in the fine gross matter afternoon it has been thought of
\nand this is the arena of words which leads to manifestation on our
\nmedium and dense gross matter. Forgive me for those big words.<\/p>\n

In elections,debate exist in fine gross matter. The words spoken here
\nbinds the speaker and will not let them go left or right or sleep until
\nthey are fulfilled. So when in 2015, the then APC Presidential Candidate
\nM. Buhari refused to\u00a0 participate in debate,he knew most probably that
\nhe had RECIEVED a wild card to do as he wished. Even when his party made
\nmanifestos he reportedly denied some of them and as we can see it did
\nnot bind him. Nigerians can testify the outcome today.<\/p>\n

On the contrary we can compare with the current Bayelsa State Governor
\nHon. Henry Seriake Dickson whose promises read like a perfect vision of
\nwhat his steps in Governance has been so far. You and I know how well he
\nhas fulfilled today after almost 8 years in office. Nov. 16 is another
\nopportunity for Bayelsans\u00a0 to chose between those who spoke, wrote and
\nparticipated in debates ; those who respected us all by explaining what
\nthey want to do and how they intend to go about it in tackling the
\nBayelsa challenges and the others who did not bother to debate,who are
\ntherefore only seeking yet another wild card.<\/p>\n

As for me I have chosen\u00a0 PDP’s Senator DOUYE DIRI over his APC
\ncounterpart because I know that the laws will not allow him to turn his
\nback from working hard to extend prosperity to Bayelsans. This is
\nbecause he has debated,spoken and written his pathway to the
\nGovernorship seat so clearly that\u00a0 it has already began to take form in
\nthe gross material and the people,knowingly will do their part come
\nNovember 16.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
