During his address, Dickson said:

“Acknowledging that power comes from above and that God gives it to whoever He pleases, at any time He pleases.

“It is also appropriate at this point to acknowledge and especially thank the human instrument that God used in supporting you, your deputy, and our party (PDP) into office in Rivers state at the time He did, especially the person of your predecessor and my brother, the current minister of FCT.”
