Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State has called on all opposition parties in the country to support President Muhammadu Buhari.
Dickson is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, while President Buhari belongs to the All Progressives Congress.
Towards this end, the governor said he would continue to work for security, unity and progress of the country regardless of the fact that Buhari is a member of the APC.
He stated this in Abuja on Saturday while receiving some Ijaw community leaders who paid him a solidarity visit and endorsed his second term ambition.
Dickson said his call on the opposition to support the Buhari-led administration was important to move the nation forward irrespective of political leaning.
He told him visitors, “I enjoined you to work with constituted authority because our country must be safe. We are determined to support the federal system because we must be sure that our country is safe.
“Political parties aside, we must all work for security of Nigeria; work for security in Bayelsa and work for security in the Niger Delta.
“President Buhari deserves our support and we have to rally round him to succeed without the issue of which political party produced him.
“We can’t afford to fail because the future of our children and those coming behind them is tied to the success of the government now”.
Referring to the solidarity visit, Dickson said he was impressed by what he described as the “well executed ambush” that only the Ijaw people could deliver.
