GOV. DICKSON ACCEPTS RESIGNATION OF BYSIEC CHAIRMAN, CHIEF PEREKEME BERTOLA
Bayelsa State Governor, The Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson has accepted the resignation of the Chairman of the State Independent Electoral Commission (BYSIEC) Dr. Perekeme Bertola
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, the governor thanked Bertola for his services to the commission, particularly for setting in motion the conduct of the August 10, 2019 local council election.
He said regardless of the development, the council election will still go on, as the other members of the commission are in quorum to carry on with the business of conducting a hitch free council polls.
The statement noted that the most senior member of the commission will take charge in acting capacity, pending the appointment of a substantive chairman.
The statement expressed shock that members of the opposition will go the length to harass, intimidate and threaten Dr. Bertola and his family all in their desire for him to do their bidding during the council election.
While wishing Dr. Bertola success in his future endeavours, It called on Bayelsans to be aware of the subterranean moves by members of the opposition to scuttle the planned council election, using different crude means but assured they will not succeed.
