Dickson to decamp to APC to evade EFCC’s arrest – Wike
NEWS DIGEST – Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has alleged that the outgoing governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson is planning to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, to evade possible arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, at the end of his tenure.
Recall that Messrs Wike and Dickson had been at loggerheads since the party lost the Bayelsa State governorship election to the APC in November.

Mr Wike, in a statement by his media aide, Simeon Nwakaudu, said “Dickson concluded plans to join the APC…(and) colluded with these people so that EFCC will not arrest him when he leaves Government.”
He accused Mr Dickson failing his people by refusing to utilise their resources judiciously.
He said that for a “small state like Bayelsa, it was wrong for the outgoing Governor to expend N70billion on an uncompleted airport when Bayelsa State lacks good roads and Basic Infrastructure.”
Mr Wike said he has achieved more for Rivers State in four years than Dickson did for Bayelsa State in about 8 years.
He, therefore, warned Mr Dickson against spreading false news and propaganda against him and his administration.
