By Passman Akpos
Yenagoa, Nigeria — A spirited conversation is gaining momentum across Bayelsa State as citizens take to social media and public forums to assess the performance of their representatives in the Nigerian Senate. The discussion, themed “KONBOWEI, AGADAGA OR DICKSON? Bayelsans, Let’s Talk!”, calls for honest feedback on the visibility, effectiveness, and impact of Bayelsa’s three serving senators.
The debate focuses on:
Sen. Henry Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa West)#Sen. Benson Agadaga (Bayelsa East)
Sen. Friday Konbowei Benson (Bayelsa Central)
Bayelsans are being asked to rate and compare the lawmakers based on constituency projects, legislative contributions, and people-oriented representation — key performance indicators that reflect their commitment to the people.
While opinions remain divided, early online reactions show that many residents value transparency and accessibility, calling for senators who not only legislate but also make tangible differences in local communities.
> “It’s not just about speeches in Abuja,” said a commentator on Facebook. “We want to see real projects — roads, schools, scholarships, and healthcare that touch lives in Bayelsa.”
Another respondent highlighted the importance of legislative visibility, noting that effective representation goes beyond development projects to include strong advocacy for regional interests and accountability in national decision-making.
As the discussion trends under hashtags such as #BayelsaVoices, #SenatorsPerformance, #GoodGovernance, and #BayelsaPolitics, it underscores a growing demand for responsive and people-centered governance in the state.
Ultimately, the question remains:👉 Who among Dickson, Agadaga, and Konbowei has truly delivered for Bayelsa?
Bayelsans are encouraged to share their honest ratings and thoughts as part of this ongoing civic dialogue — because, as many agree, “Bayelsa deserves the best.” 💪🏽
