2019 election dickson warns against violence killing of corps members
I think you may be referring to the 2019 Bayelsa State gubernatorial election in Nigeria. Here's a summary of the event:
On November 16, 2019, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted the Bayelsa State gubernatorial election. The election was marred by violence, with reports of killings, maiming, and destruction of properties.
In the aftermath of the election, the then-Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Konbowei Benson Dickson, warned against violence and called for calm. He made this statement in a press conference held on November 17, 2019.
Dickson, who is a member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), expressed concern over the violence that characterized the election, particularly the killing of some corps members who were serving as ad-hoc staff for the election. He condemned the violence and called on the security agencies to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.
He also appealed to the people of Bayelsa State to remain calm and peaceful, and to avoid taking the law into their own hands. Dickson emphasized that the election was a democratic process and that any form of violence was unacceptable.
The Bayelsa State gubernatorial election was won by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, David Lyon, who defeated the PDP candidate, Douye Diri. However, the election was later nullified by the Supreme Court, which ordered a fresh election due to irregularities and non-compliance with the Electoral Act.
