The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed concern over an alleged counter-rally planned by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State ahead of former Governor and Senator Seriake Dickson's visit to Angalabiri Community. Mr. Gabriel Ukuta, Coordinator of Ofurumapepe Media, criticized the state government for allegedly fueling political intolerance and intolerance towards opposition parties.
According to Ukuta, Dickson had scheduled a thank-you visit to Angalabiri on November 7, 2026, to acknowledge residents' support and interact with them. However, Ukuta claimed that officials from the Bayelsa State Government, Dr. Peter Akpe and Hon. Lucky Youbougha, organized a counter-rally in the same community on the same day, in an attempt to undermine Dickson's engagement with the people.
Ukuta questioned the need for a counter-rally given that Dickson's visit was meant to appreciate residents, rather than initiate a political confrontation. He urged the government to prioritize the safety of Angalabiri residents over partisan interests and maintain democratic principles of free interaction between political parties and citizens.
