It was gathered that a deadly ex-militant leader from Delta State is determined to scuttle the ambition of any other political party candidate except that of the Peoples Democratic Party, Governor Dickson.
According to Punch, the ex-warlord had vowed that the opposition political party would not be allowed to take over the state of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He is said to be assembling ‘deadly’ militants to attack the state again during the rerun on January 9, 2016.
The ex-militant leader was said to be the brain behind the widespread violence that swept across the state during the December 5 and 6, 2015 inconclusive election in the state.
The ex-militant reportedly organised the thugs and militants that attacked the home of the Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri in Ekeremor and carried out other violent attacks on members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Nembe and other parts of the state.
The December 5 and 6 elections were marred by violence, sporadic shootings and other irregularities.
Security source confided that the said ex-militant leader was still desperate to unleash violence on the state in favour of the PDP.
The source said, “Now he is leading the fight to stop the APC in Bayelsa not because he likes the candidate of the PDP but because he believes it is a payback time.”
