Bayelsa APC Chieftain Taunts Jonathan: APC Senator Represents You

By Editor

The deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC Mr. Yekini Nabena has cautioned Dr. Goodluck Jonathan not to open himself to ridicule by claiming electoral strength in Bayelsa State.

Nabena who was responding to Jonathan’s claim that the APC does not exist in Bayelsa State taunted the former president with the claim that the APC presented the senator presently representing him in the Senate.

Jonathan had claimed at a stakeholders meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Yenagoa last Tuesday that the APC does not exist in the state. The meeting was held to prepare the PDP for the governorship election.

Addressing reporters in Abuja on Thursday, Nabena said:

“Jonathan is attempting to rewrite history on presidential elections conducted under his watch in Bayelsa state while he was president. He never won as votes never counted. Aided by security agents, election results were simply announced by the election body in favour of the PDP.

“Former President Goodluck Jonathan even lost in his senatorial zone in the last 2019 National Assembly election won by the APC candidate. So, one wonders the party Jonathan was referring to as not being on ground in Bayelsa state.”

“The media will recall that under Governor Seriake Dickson’s watch, 63 Smart Card Readers belonging to INEC were stolen and later retrieved. Also, I had earlier called on the Inspector General of Police to proscribe the state-controlled security outfit, Operation Doo Akpo following security reports indicating that the state government was plotting violence by flooding the state with arms ahead of the 2019 polls. That threat is still active as Bayelsa state prepares for the governorship election.

“It is clear that no amount of falsehood and rigging can stop PDP’s imminent defeat in the forthcoming governorship election. The PDP has become very unpopular and stands rejected in Bayelsa state.”
