The Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, at the weekend declared that he has no personal problem with the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the December 5 governorship election in the state, Chief Timipre Sylva.
The governor pledged to award a contract for the construction of Brass/Nembe road if re-elected for a second term.
The road leads to Okpoama, the community of Sylva.
Dickson, who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the election, spoke when he took his community-based campaign tour to Sylva’s country home.
He assured them of his administration’s resolve to award the multi billion Naira Nembe/Brass Road during the first quarter of 2016, if re-elected for a second term in office.
He said the award of the contract would add to the ongoing Ogbia/Nembe road project and other developmental work in the area.
Dickson, who was received by the Okpoama Council of Chiefs, commended the people of the area for their support.
He said the reception was a testimony that the people of Brass local government area were in support of the PDP-led administration.
Dickson said the Brass/Nembe road would be given due attention as to enable his administration achieve its policy of exploring the Atlantic Ocean to enhance socio-economic development.
According to him, clearing and sand-filling would be done as soon as the project is awarded to a competent contractor.
Speaking on the State Maritime Academy sited in Okpoma by the present administration, Dickson expressed concern that the institution had yet to function as expected because of financial constraints.
He explained that his administration went into partnership with the Polish government, noting that the application for the project was not successful.
The governor said he has no personal problems with the candidate of the main opposition party in the state.
