Seriake Dickson: An Uncommon Breed of a Lawmaker.



A salient feature of a good leader is the number of followers he garners even after he leaves office. Senator Seriake Dickson has garnered followers and admirers in Bayelsa West, Bayelsa State, Nigeria and globally because of his model of leadership that is rare in our evolving world.


His love and respect for everything that has life  has earned him a place in the heart of everyone he comes across. Elders, political stakeholders, Women, youths, followers and admirers eagerly flood the Bayelsa State airport in their numbers at the news of his arrival to the state to receive him in a grand style. They express their love and admiration for his heroic representation. Whenever he speaks at the floor of the Red Chambers, he speaks the minds of his people and they express gratitude to God for the gift of this Man.


 His doors are readily open to accommodate and receive all, both his constituents and others from all over Bayelsa and beyond who look up to him as their father, leader and mentor. Senator Dickson is a detribalized leader. He is not a discriminator, rather he is a father to all regardless of the class, race, tribe or region.


Senator Dickson is a fine quality of a servant leader whose leadership style is people oriented. Even as he is no longer Governor of Bayelsa State after 8 years of meritorious service, the people still love and admire him.


Senator Dickson has sponsored and supported important bills and has been able to attract development to his people of Bayelsa West, Bayelsa State and Niger Delta. His performance at the Red Chambers is the best witnessed in the region so far. Little wonder his people of Bayelsa West keep trusting and supporting him because of his quality representation at the National Assembly.


Indeed, Senator Dickson is an uncommon breed of a Lawmaker.

Reasons why Political Actors Detract from Senator Dickson

   By Gabriel Ukuta In a political terrain that is often characterized by lofty promises, unfulfilled pledges, and leaders who drift away from their people once elected into office.

This unique approach to politics is precisely why certain political actors in Bayelsa West often attempt to detract from his leadership. His style of governance and representation is not built on empty slogans but on visible results, loyalty to his people, and consistency in fulfilling his commitments.
