Dickson who had a confrontation with Akpabio during plenary over the emergency rule in Rivers State, has been a threat due to his vocality and eloquence in the Senate, advocating and defending the interest of the Niger Delta and the Ijaw nation for equity, justice and fairness to prevail.

As a former governor of Rivers State and a member of the PDP, Mr Wike’s…
