Still smattering from the lost at the tribunal, the Bayelsa Chapter of the All Progressive Congress ( APC) has described recent statements from Bayelsa state Governor ,Seriake Dickson against members of the party as mischievous .

The party, in a statement also accused Dickson and former President Jonathan of under developing Bayelsa state.

In the statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Panebi Fortune, challenged the Dickson led government to show the people of the state the federal presence in the state in the last 16 years of the People’s Democratic Party rule in the state and the six years of Jonathan’s reign.

The APC which accused Jonathan, Dickson and the PDP of under developing the state noted that, throughout Jonathan’s tenure at the helm of affairs in the country, there was nothing to show as federal presence in Bayelsa state as a son of the soil.

“Does it not show much of political liability that while Jonathan,a son of Bayelsa state held sway for six years, the state is yet to take off ? What template of development did the former president lay before he was voted out of office”

“For us in the APC and indeed the generality of Bayelsans, both Jonathan and his party, the PDP were liabilities than they were assets to the people of the state? They underdeveloped Bayelsa state.”
