GOVERNOR Dickson weekend stormed Okpoama, home town of former Governor Timipre Sylva and candidate of the APC in continuation of his campaign saying he has no personal problem with their son.

Dickson stated this when he led the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Restoration Campaign Organisation to the coastal community on the Atlantic fringe of Brass local government area of the state.

The governor while addressing the traditional rulers and people of Okpoama kingdom during his community based campaign tour assured Sylva’s kinsmen of his administration’s resolve to award the multi billion naira Nembe/Brass Road during the first quarter of 2016, if re-elected for a second term in office.

According to him, the award of the road contract is in addition to the on-going Ogbia/Nembe Road project and other developmental projects sited in the area. Dickson, who was received by the Okpoama Council of Chiefs, commended the people of the area for their support and the large turnout, adding that it was a testimony to the fact that the people of Brass local government area are in support of the PDP led administration.

On the project, Dickson said that it would be given due attention as it would enable the administration achieve its policy of linking up the state to the Atlantic Ocean to enhance socio-economic development.

According to him, clearing and sand filling would be done in earnest as soon as the project is awarded to a competent contractor.

Commenting on the State Maritime Academy sited in Okpoma by the present administration, Dickson expressed concern that the institution had yet to function as expected due to financial constraints.

He explained that his administration went into partnership with the Polish government, noting that the application for the project was not successful.

Dickson visited Odioma, Ewoama and Twon Brass and lauded the people for the warm reception accorded his campaign team and their sense of maturity as well as enlightenment on political issues.
