Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa on Tuesday inaugurated a 41-member Transition Committee in readiness for the inauguration of the incoming administration in the state.

David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the November 16 governorship election and is slated to assume office on February 14, 2020.

The committee which has the Secretary to the State Government, Kemela Okara, as Chairman, also has Talford Ongolo as Deputy Chairman and Luka Obiri as Secretary.

The committee which includes all serving commissioners, five permanent secretaries and political appointees was inaugurated on Tuesday at the Governor’s Conference Room, Government House, Yenagoa.

A statement by Fidelis Soriwei, Chief Press secretary to Mr Dickson, said the constitution of the Transition Committee was in line with the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Mr Dickson described the governorship election won by the APC on November 16 as a charade.

He, however, noted that irrespective of the outcome of the several initiatives being taken by the PDP, there was still need for a proper handover process to be initiated.

“Knowing that what transpired is not an election, we have to set up a transition committee the first time in our democratic rule.

“I thank God for the grace and enablement for making this possible for eight years and with a lot of achievements,” Mr Dickson said.

According to Mr Dickson, the purpose of the committee is to articulate, record and document all the policies, programmes, projects and achievements of the administration in all sectors in eight years.

“The purpose is to articulate and record all that we have achieved and done in all sectors as a state.

“That’s why all commissioners are part of this committee to enable you to present a scorecard of all our policies and programmes both completed and ongoing projects.”

He said that the outcome of the work would be handed over in various forms to the incoming administration.

He said the achievements of his administration would be a testimony while Bayelsa people were assured of continually enjoying the dividends of democracy.

He thanked members of the committee for their diligence, sacrifice and manner they served his administration.

In his address, the chairman of the committee, Mr Okara, gave the assurance that before the end of the year the committee would complete its assigned task.

The assignment includes the financial position of the state, in terms of assets and liabilities, in a clear document.

He added that they would produce a very thorough and standard report that other states would envy.

Grey hair is not sign of wisdom

Seriake dickson, has proven that .

I feel whatever transition documents that would be tendered should be submitted and scrutinized by EFCC first.
This is how many governors hand over salary debts, contract debts to their successor and escape with unaccounted loots

Dickson is a fat fool.

You insisted on foisting an uninspiring and unpopular idiot on the PDP, now you shout charade.

Everyone stayed away and let u do it.

If every PDP stakeholder was in same page with u, do u think APC would have found it easy to rig?

APC wants to turn this country to a one state party, PDP need to put her house together and come back Strong with mouth watery policies for her people.

APC did not have to rig. Like you said, Dickson sidelined key stakeholders and foisted an unpopular candidate, APC capitalised on it by giving the ticket to a man supported by key decision makers. Talk of political chess played by the masters of the game.

A wise man once said only one party can destroy the PDP, and that party is the PDP. I think the party may implode before 2023. Wike may decamp or not involve himself too much. PDP became a behemoth and lost more than half of their states. Their opposition is lackluster. They don't have a Lai Mohammed to put APC on their toes.

Without Oshiomole, Buhari, Aregbesola and Tinubu, APC may go the same way within the next decade.

41 members committee is a financial drain pipe.

Why not handover in a simple way devoid of bureaucracy and financial wastages?

Why over big size the process of handing over to waste public funds.

Governor elect David Lyon needs this money to kick start his administration.

Apart from Yenagoa, Bayelsa state most of the riverine community are in abject poverty with no access to clean drinking water.

Governor elect David Lyon should concentrate on opening the rural areas.

Lagos state is investing in boat transportation but Bayelsa state has no standard ferry services.

Yeah like they have been doing since 1999? Yeah right, they can't give what they don't have.

Which PDP be that?

The same PDP that oversaw Nigeria for 16 straight years without electricity and good roads....

By the way, they must go and complete their National Secretariat building first with the funds they stole, then we can discuss.

Who takes a party that raised N27billion for her National Secretariat building valued at N16billion and still couldn't complete it seriously?
