Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State, Sam Inokoba, has accused Abuja-based politicians from the state of working against the government of Governor Seriake Dickson.
Apparently referring to the National Assembly members from the state, he equally blamed them for the seeming frosty relationship between Dickson and President Goodluck Jonathan.
Inokoba, a retired army colonel, made the accusation in a statement at the weekend in Yenagoa while reacting to a national newspaper’s (not Daily Independent) report captioned: ‘First Lady’s ploy to hijack Bayelsa, Rivers thickens’.
He described the Abuja-based politicians from the state as “disgruntled and misguided elements” who want “to turn the state into a theatre of war”.
The PDP chairman said they could not be stocking political fire from outside in a bid to score cheap political points.
He said the party and the Bayelsa public know their antecedents, stressing that the people were now wiser.
Inokoba said the PDP would resist any attempt by the Abuja-based politicians to destabilise the government of Dickson and create crisis in the state.
“The PDP in Bayelsa State will resist any attempt by disgruntled and misguided elements to turn the state to a theatre of war. They cannot be throwing stones from outside, all in the name of playing politics.
“We know their antecedents and so do everybody in the state. People are now wiser. The era of political thuggery is over in the state for good.
“We, therefore, call on all party faithful in the state and indeed all Bayelsans to disregard and ignore the move by mischief makers especially at this season of heightened political activities to disrupt the existing peace and harmony in the state”, he said.
