...Says Boycott of APC Rally by Lokpobiri, Aganaba, Seibarugo, Angaye shows that the party has failed
The Peoples Democratic Party Youth Network has lauded the decision of the leadership of the party to shift its flag off campaign earlier scheduled for Saturday to Monday to avoid clash with the opposition All Progressives Congress.
The group in a statement by its Secretary General James Oputin, said that the PDP leadership displayed a commendable level of maturity by averting the plan of the APC to use a non existent clash of rallies to unleash mayhem on the state.
The group said that the APC planned to cause civil disturbance with thugs imported from neighbouring states to cause civil disturbance at the venue of the PDP rally.
Oputin posited that APC lacks capacity to win free, fair and credible election in Bayelsa state
He stressed the party's stock in trade was violence which played out during its kangaroo primary which is being challenged in court by all the frontline asp
He said controversial direct primary adopted by the party was marred by rigging and violence with the results for the election written at a hotel without voting.
He said that development contributed to the non issuance of certificate of return to the said flag bearer, David Lyon by the National Secretariat of the party.
Oputin recalled also that the leading governorship aspirants of the party, Heineken Lokpobiri, Preye Aganaba, and other notable key players stayed away from the flag off of the party's rally at the weekend because of the undemocratic acts of the party.
He said that the APC was torn apart by injustice and bitterness as many of the supporters who observed the election believe rightly that Lyon was not elected but imposed on the party by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva.
The group, therefore, called on the members of PDP to remain calm and resolute, as the party has all it takes to win November 16 governorship election.
