Group Seeks Probe Of Dickson’s Mother

-- --

The contention for the Bayelsan governorship became more tricky yesterday after a group believed to be sympathetic to the Sylva Campaign demanded the immediate interrogation of Governor Dickson’s mother allegedly for falsifying her age to get employment in the state civil service.

The group, Concerned Bayelsans for Good Governance and Transparency in a statement issued on its behalf by Prieye Johnson also accused the governor of collaborating with his mother on the matter.

“The scandal involves the mother of the Governor, Mrs. Goldcoast Dickson, who gave birth to the Governor, when she was only 8 years old. And this is official according to the available public service records which puts the date of birth of the mother at June, 1958 while the Governor was born on 28th January,1966.

“The mother, a staff of the Tarakiri Rural Development Authority, was employed in 2004 as a Senior Cleaner with a possible forged age declaration and has been collecting salaries when in fact she would have been retired. The Governor has always portrayed himself as running a transparent government but the malfeasance around his immediate family has put a lie to that claim.

“It however, took the petition written to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, by a group, Coalition for Good Governance and Accountability, for the Special Adviser to the Governor on Treasury, Accounts and Revenue, Mr. Timipre Seipulou, to direct the Chairman of the Tarakiri Rural Development Authority to stop the payment of the salary to Dickson’s mother from February, 2014.

Transparency in governance

“The big question: When does she go to work to carry out her duties as a Senior Cleaner? In fact, the woman lives inside the Government House, Yenagoa with her son and does not go to work but collect salaries. This is not only fraudulent but clearly rubbish any sense of transparency in governance.

“We are convinced that her engagement into the service wouldn’t have been without the knowledge and facilitation of the son, Governor Dickson. So, who helped her falsify the age? The Staff Nominal Roll as at February, 2014 captured the status of Mrs. Goldcoast Dickson.
