Essential skill’ — Former Governor takes a swim in river
Seriake Dickson, senator representing Bayelsa west and national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), took a swim in a river in his community, while encouraging young people to learn the skill.
Dickson, a former governor of Bayelsa, wrote about his swimming session after gliding in River Forcados.
In a post on X on Monday, the lawmaker said he grew up around the river until he was 20.
“Today, I visited the river by which I grew up till age 20. I went and had a swim in the River Forcados, right here in my community, and it was great!” he wrote.
The senator said swimming is an activity he occasionally enjoys with his children, adding that they all know how to swim.
“I encourage all young men to learn how to swim. Not only is it a good sport, but it is also an essential life skill, particularly for those of us living around here,” he added.
