An Open Letter of Appreciation

Your Excellency, Distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson,rnFormer Governor of Bayelsa State,rnrnI make no pretence about my past position: I was never your supporter, largely because of my assessment of your record as Governor of Bayelsa State. However, leadership is also measured by the courage to speak the truth when it matters most.rnrnAfter listening to your recent press release, I have chosen to forgive the past and publicly commend you for your honesty. You boldly exposed the destructive pattern of sycophancy, betrayal, and opportunistic politics practiced by certain individuals from Ekeremor and Brass Local Government Areas Of Bayelsa State. Your decision to describe such actors as “ANIMALS” was not an insult; it was an accurate description of a mindset and behaviour that has held our politics hostage for years.rnrnAt a time when many leaders choose silence, compromise, or hypocrisy, you chose truth. That courage deserves recognition. For speaking plainly, without fear or favour, I say thank you.rnMay God bless you.rnrnSigned,rnChief Inko Brightstar Wariborn(a.k.a. Whoknows Tomorrow)
