Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, yesterday told newly elected council chairmen in the state not to see themselves as sole administrators in their respective local governments.

Rather, the governor said the chairmen should always consult and build consensus within the party in their areas to stimulate internal democracy.

Dickson, who spoke in Yenagoa at his monthly interaction session with party stakeholders, reiterated his loyalty and commitment to the ruling party.

"I congratulate the local government chairmen and urge them to key into the spirit of the new Bayelsa at the ward and local government levels. They should exercise leadership and responsibility at that level; let them know we are a government of the party."

The state chief executive said the last council election in the state was the most peaceful; pointing out that PDP was the party with the vision to take Bayelsans to the next level.

Governor Dickson called on the chairmen to also work closely with government representatives at the local government areas to step up security machinery, especially in the area of sea piracy as they are closest to the grass root.

Earlier, state Chairman of the PDP, Col. Sam Inokoba (rtd), said the task ahead of the party was to support President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 poll and that of the governor in 2016.
