Bayelsa: PDP Issues Final Warning To APC Over Attacks

By Reginald Tobin 

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Campaign in Bayelsa State has issued what it Friday declared as a final warning to the All Progressive Congress, APC over repeated attacks on its members in the state.

The PDP assertion was upon what it claimed as the attack on its members and supporters on Thursday  in Nembe community by thugs it alleged to be loyalists of the APC.

The Campaign council of the party, in a statement through its spokesman, Dr. Jonathan Obuebite, in Yenagoa, on Friday, warned that the recent attack upon its members, should be the last that will be carried out by the APC in the state.

Obuebite, in his statement said that  members and supporters of the PDP who were on their way to the campaign rallies of the party in Akassa, Okpoama and Twon-Brass, had driven into Igopiri community, instead of Nembe city to board their boats, and were immediately ambushed by APC youths.

According to him, the party faithful were wounded and also robbed of personal belongings.

The campaign spokesman noted that the PDP has in the last few weeks suffered all kinds of politically motivated attacks from the APC with some of its members still lying critically ill.

He therefore called on leaders of the APC to call their members to order and make them stay on the path of peace, otherwise the PDP will not fail to defend its members going forward.

He warned that no party will have the opportunity to carry out campaigns freely, if steps are not taken to curb further attacks.
