Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson has urged religious leaders in the state to organise prayers that will give the state a worthy successor.
He revealed that whoever gets the governorship ticket of the PDP must be courageous, committed and zealous to guard the interests of the state and Ijaw nation.
The governor disclosed this during a media chat on Tuesday.
His words, “I wish to also mention on this important issue of the next person to govern the state.
“I have directed our religious team to come up with a date when we will formally gather to fast and pray in seeking the face of God concerning the person who will take over from me as governor of the state.
“The team has chosen June and so we will all find time as a party to have that event.”
“I desire to see more youths and women being carried along in the forthcoming local government election because of the incredible support they have always given to my administration.
“A minimum of 20% should be given to the women in appreciation of their support and as a source of empowerment to their families.”
