The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in
Bayelsa State has asked those, who are still in the All Progressives Congress
(APC) to stop wasting their time in the party, as nothing good will happen to
them under the leadership of Chief Timipre Sylva.
The party said, Sylva like his mentor in Abuja is
busy promoting nepotism by appointing only his kinsmen and close relatives
while those, who sweated with him in the last elections are completely
abandoned or left to settle for crumbs.
The PDP made the declaration on
Wednesday following a courtesy visit by some former members of the
APC to Governor Seriake Dickson at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Led by a former State Chairman of the PDP, Dr.
Tarila Tebepah the returnee members had gone to pledge their total loyalty and
commitment to the governor and the party, assuring him that, they will work to
ensure its victory in the next general and governorship elections.
The defectors made up of heavyweights alongside over
6,000 of their supporters had on February 14 openly dumped the APC, admitting
that, they were deceived to join by Sylva.
But, the PDP in a statement by its Chairman, Cleopas
Moses called on the few remnants of the APC to leave the drowning party,
describing it as a congregation of hardened criminals, unrepentant cultists and
promoters of oppressive tendencies.
Cleopas Moses thanked Governor Dickson for creating
the right environment for the defectors and assured them that, they have been
fully integrated, while maintaining that, its doors are still open with more
opportunities than in the APC.
He said Sylva's penchant for using and dumping
people has become legendary and challenged anyone, who has directly benefited
in any form of political patronage from him in the last two years other than
his relatives to publicly state so.
The PDP chairman advised those still in the APC to
stop falling for his sweet talks, as his trademark deceit, which has been
the hallmark of him and his master, will work against them come 2019.
