Ignore doomsday prediction on break up—Dickson

By SamuelOyadongha

Yenagoa—Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, yesterday, has reaffirmed his faith in the indivisibility of Nigeria and called on Nigerians to ignore prophets of doom predicting the country’s break up in 2015.

Dickson, at the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration in Yenagoa, paid glowing tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes, who laid down their lives for the peace and stability of the country.

Represented by his deputy, Rear Admiral John Jonah (rtd), Dickson condemned the negative utterances of some politicians in the country, saying “despite the concerted efforts of Nigerians, who have come together to honour the sacrifices made by our fallen soldiers in the service of this dear country, some politicians are busy fanning the embers of discord and acrimony by openly predicting that Nigeria would break up in 2015.”
