Defections: democracy without opposition is dictatorship – Dickson

Seriake Dickson, Senator representing Bayelsa West, has kicked against the wave of defections into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking with reporters at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, after plenary on Wednesday, Dickson said he remained committed to the PDP.

He said the governors defecting were making mockery of democracy.

Recall that Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevwori; Akwa Ibom State governor, Umo Eno; Enugu State governor, Peter Mbah, have all dumped the PDP for the APC.

Daily Trust reports that barely 24 hours after Governor Mbah announced his defection to the APC, Bayelsa Sate governor, Duoye Diri, dumped the PDP.

Reacting to Diri’s action, Dickson said, “I am where I have always been. I don’t believe Nigeria should become a one-party state. As a democrat, I understand the ups and downs of the process, but I remain constant and steadfast in the PDP.

“It’s sad. Instead of fixing the problems, they let the crisis fester and now they are bailing out. It makes Nigeria look small, ridicules our democracy and endangers multiparty politics. What we are witnessing is political class su***de.

“To his credit, he consulted me, but I didn’t see any compelling reason to defect. I’m still standing where I have always stood, with the PDP, the party that gave my people the opportunity to produce a Vice President, an acting President, and a President of the Federal Republic. The APC cannot offer that.

“If we fail to save the PDP, then we will decide collectively on the next step, but it certainly should not be joining the APC. A democracy without opposition becomes a dictatorship.”

Dickson who described himself as soldier of democracy, said he is committed to strengthening multiparty politics in Nigeria.

He disclosed that Governor Diri had consulted him on several occasions before defecting, but that he was not convinced by the reasons presented.

Dickson, a two-term governor of Bayelsa, handed over to Diri.

SARAKI BLASTS ABDULRAZAQ OVER KWARA INSECURITY, LABELS GOVERNOR "INCOMPETENT AND CLUELESS"

Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has launched a blistering attack on the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, over the deteriorating security situation in the state.
In a strongly worded statement released by his media office on Saturday, October 4, 2025, Saraki described the governor as an "incompetent, insensitive, irresponsible, clueless, and unresponsive" leader who has failed in his primary duty to protect the lives and property of Kwarans.

Saraki, a prominent leader of the main opposition party (PDP), expressed grave concern over recent reports of kidnapping, armed robbery, and cult clashes that have instilled fear among residents across various parts of the state.

He argued that the current administration's approach to security has been largely reactionary and ineffective.

"The primary responsibility of any government is the security and welfare of its people," the statement read. "On this fundamental count, Governor Abdulrazaq has failed woefully.

His administration has shown a shocking lack of capacity to address the security challenges facing our dear state. The governor's silence and inaction in the face of growing threats make him not just incompetent, but also insensitive and irresponsible."

The former governor of Kwara State further alleged that the Abdulrazaq-led government is "clueless" on how to develop and implement a robust security architecture.

He called on the governor to immediately overhaul his security strategy, engage with community leaders, traditional rulers, and security experts, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to restoring peace and order.

"Being a governor is not about photo opportunities and empty rhetoric," Saraki continued.
"It is about decisive action and tangible results. Kwarans are tired of excuses.

They want to see a responsive government that can guarantee their safety.
It is time for the governor to wake up from his slumber or admit his incompetence and seek help."

As of the time of this report, the Kwara State Government and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have not yet issued an official response to Dr. Saraki's allegations. However, the governor's supporters often point to insecurity as a national challenge and have previously highlighted the administration's investments in providing logistical support to federal security agencies operating in the state.

This latest criticism marks a significant escalation in the political rivalry between the Saraki-led PDP and the Abdulrazaq-led APC government, setting the stage for a heated political climate as the state grapples with its security concerns.

*PDP Celebrates Kwara's Resilient Teachers, Calls Them the True Heroes*

*...Urges Gov Abdulrahman to improve Teacher's Welfare*

The Kwara State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) celebrates the resilience, passion, and unwavering dedication of teachers across the state — both in public and private schools — who continue to shape the minds and future of our children despite operating under extremely discouraging and demoralizing conditions.

In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the Party described Kwara teachers as the unsung heroes of our society, whose patience, endurance, and commitment to the growth of the next generation deserve the highest honour and respect.
“We are proud to call Kwara teachers, both in the public and private sectors, the true heroes of our state. Their dedication and passion form the best part of who we become as individuals and as a society. Through their knowledge, wisdom, and values, teachers have been the guiding light shaping our collective destiny, and our words alone can never fully express our gratitude for their immense contributions to the Kwara project,”

The PDP, while commending the teachers’ enduring spirits, expressed deep concern over the poor welfare conditions, meagre salaries, and decaying infrastructure in most public schools across the state. The Party lamented that many classrooms in Kwara have become uninhabitable, forcing students in some communities to receive lessons under the shade of trees, a situation that should be unacceptable in the 21st century.

“It is also a national shame that in a state where billions are received monthly as federal allocations, a teacher on Grade Level 8 still earns a paltry N73,000 — an amount that is not even up to the monthly allowance of NYSC corps members — while Teachers in Oyo and Osun earn between N125,000 and N130,000. This disparity is a sad reflection of the Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq-led administration’s neglect and lack of value for education and its workforce,”

The PDP therefore calls on Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to immediately consider an upward review of teachers’ salaries and welfare packages, in the same way the Party had earlier called for a review of workers’ pay across the state. The Party insists that no society can rise above the quality and motivation of its teachers.

While urging Kwara teachers not to lose hope, the PDP assures them that a government led by the Party in 2027 will prioritize teachers’ welfare, introduce robust reward systems for excellence, and guarantee dignity in service and retirement benefits worthy of their lifelong sacrifices.
