Bayelsa Governor Dickson, Deputy Exchange Blows In Government House
It was reported that the edifice, affectionately referred to as Creek Haven, was a few days ago turned into a boxing ring.
What was shocking to the residents of the oil rich, riverine state is the pedigree of the combatants.
Sources revealed that the combatants were no other than the two major occupants of the edifice – Governor Henry Seriake Dickson and his deputy, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah.
The slugfest, said to have been witnessed by some of their aides and domestic staff, was allegedly triggered off when the deputy governor advised his boss to pay civil servants in the state the three months salary arrears to bring peace and tranquility to the state.
Annoyed by what he considered his deputy’s effrontery, Governor Dickson was alleged to have thrown the first punch.
The deputy governor, a retired naval officer, allegedly countered with a deadlier punch which staggered his hefty looking boss, who used to be a police officer.
The exchange, we gathered, would have gone further but for the prompt intervention of the security personnel attached to the duo.
Meanwhile, those in charge of the information unit of the government house refuse to divulge any further information on the executive slugfest drama which some residents of the state have tagged The Return of Spartacus.
