BAYELSA GUBER: APC PRIMARIES; A SHOW OF SHAME, AS MAYHEM AND BRIGANDAGE REIGNS SUPREME

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Bayelsa State has noted with serious concern, the mayhem, bloodletting and the disruption of the existing peace and security in some parts of the State capital, Yenagoa, as a fall out of the All Progressive Congress, APC, governorship primaries.Reacting to the unfortunate scenarios that played out before, during and after the APC primaries, the PDP in Bayelsa State has described the APC, as a bunch of desperate and power hungry individuals, who do not have anything to offer Bayelsans, but are only craving for power to return the State to its dark days. According to the PDP State Secretary, Keku Godspower, what happened at the Samson Siasia Sports Complex in Yenagoa, was a manifestation of the true make-up and the real intent of the persons, who are saying they want to lead the State and effect change, without any clear cut vision to effect any positive change, but to plunge Bayelsa back to the dark days of cultism, militancy and lawlessness as well as fritter away the resources of the State.The PDP scribe wondered why a party primary, which is purely an internal matter that ought to be conducted under a peaceful and brotherly atmosphere, being greeted by widespread protests, bloody scenes, with people being maimed and even properties being destroyed in the process.“This has allayed the fears we have been expressing all the while, that these people do not mean well for Bayelsans and their mission is to reintroduce cultism, truncate the existing peace and security in the State. Allow militancy to flourish and instill fear in the minds of the people.The Restoration Government has brought Bayelsa out of the woods and it remains the best option for the people of the State, so that we can consolidate on the gains already made”

Hon. Keku pointed out that, the Restoration administration of the Countryman Governor came with a clear mandate and vision to put Bayelsa back on the right footing, stressing that, with so much already achieved in every sector, it is only right that, we give another opportunity to consolidate on these gains, especially in the area of peace and security, education, infrastructure and manpower development.
