Dickson, had gotten favourable judgements in all the motion of appeals filed at the apex court before the seven panel of justices.

Aganaba, in a statement personally signed by him said “I feel disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the election of Governor Henry Seriake Dickson of the PDP.

“I congratulate, in the spirit of good sportsmanship, Governor Dickson even though Bayelsans are the real losers. The Supreme Court has spoken.
“It is a shattering development for Bayelsa as a state, for me as an individual that abhors mediocrity and for the APC, my party, whose tenets are deeply rooted in justice and equity.

“While we feel disheartened, there can be no better time to look inwards and diagnose the health of our party. We need a strong party, we need to settle our differences by the common understanding that the party belongs to all and we must regroup to salvage Bayelsans from the glaring misrule sustained by the PDP

“I also thank Chief Timipre Sylva for pushing this far for the justice he believed in, and I wish him the best of luck in all future endeavors. Aganaba, the APC candidate for Bayelsa central senatorial zone in the 2015 elections submitted.
