The Bayelsa APC made the accusation via a statement released by Publicity Secretary, Fortune Panebi.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State has said that former President, Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are to blame for the underdevelopment of the state.
The Bayelsa APC made the accusation via a statement released by Publicity Secretary, Fortune Panebi.
The statement reads:
Our attention was today(yesterday) drawn to a
mischievous and loose statement credited to the Bayelsa state Governor,
Henry Seriake Dickson, apparently in clear exhibition of arrogance and
shallowness that APC leaders from Bayelsa state were yet to attract
development to the state.
From the statement, it was clear that the governor
was either being misled by his own imagination or was merely expressing
another misguided view of our party, the APC. In our view, the
statement was reckless even as it was a shameless show of brazen
arrogance by a man whose party, the PDP had an ample opportunity to
develop Bayelsa state that looked the other way.
Does it not show much of political liability that
while Jonathan, a son of Bayelsa state held sway for six years, the
state is yet to take off on? What template of development did the former
president lay before he was voted out of office?
For us in the APC and indeed the generality of
Bayelsans, both Jonathan and his party, the PDP were liabilities than
they were assets to the people of the state, they underdeveloped Bayelsa
state.
May we use this medium to remind Governor Dickson
that rather than chasing shadows and engaging in blackmail, he should
consider the plight of Bayelsa workers and pay their salaries, the level
of hunger, despair and insecurity occasioned by poverty we thought,
could be of paramount interest to him.
It is a shame that despite the God given opportunity,
Jonathan and his party decided to impoverish the people of Bayelsa
state just as Governor Dickson, like an emperor, has taken solace in a
conquest-like squeeze of the people.
We use this medium to advise Governor Dickson to face
governance during this period of judicial reprieve as the days of
justice are not too far away. It can only be preposterous that
development which had eluded our dear state over the years under a PDP
national government can be hurriedly canvassed to wrestle to Bayelsa
within 15 months of President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
