PDP Is A Sinking Ship In Bayelsa—Group

By Nwaorgu Faustinus

An interest group has lashed out at the Deputy of Chief of Staff to Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, Mrs Ebizi Brown, over her recent comments on prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state who defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, last week.

In a statement issued by the Coordinator of Change Agents of Nigeria, Bayelsa Chapter, Elizabeth Ajunwa, the governor’s aide was slammed for her remarks on the PDP defectors.

The group said Brown lacks the political experience to judge the defectors. Ajunwa urged the people of Bayelsa to ignore Brown who it said does not understand what it means for the best political brains to ditch a party.

Ajunwa said, “the people of Bayelsa know better that the ship of the PDP is sinking with the massive defection which has hit the party under Seriake Dickson, whose high handedness and lack of performance has further decimated the PDP.

“What we have left in the PDP are remnants of those whose only business is to deceive the people of the state and to share our commonwealth.

“The earlier the likes of Brown and her party of remnants realize cannot afford to be in the opposition, the better for them to join the change movement of the new Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari”.

The group further dismissed claims by the government that the governor has performed well, saying that what the people of Bayelsa have benefitted from the PDP government for a period of four years is an avalanche of uncompleted projects which have no direct bearing on the people at a time most families are battling for survival.

Ajunwa advised the government to desist from what it called a media hype aimed at promoting “a failed government and a party” with discordant tunes. The era of falsehood and deception has gone with the coming of a new government at the centre committed to fast tracking development, the group said.
