Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa, has postponed the commencement of his governorship campaign in honour of late Chief Diepreye Alamieyesiegha, the first civilian governor of the state.

The campaign was earlier scheduled to kick-off on Oct. 17.

Mr Daniel Iworiso-Markson, Chief Press Secretary to the governor, said this on Tuesday in a statement made available to newsmen in Yenagoa.

The statement quoted Dickson, as saying that the ex-governor, who passed on last Saturday, was a foremost statesman and leader that deserves honour from his people.

“The register has also been opened at the state secretariat complex, Ijaw House in Yenagoa and Abuja; we also have it in Lagos and Port Harcourt,’’ the statement said.
