*PDP will be history in the region after Saturday, says party’s chieftain
The All Progressive Congress in Bayelsa has applauded
the decision of the Federal Government to deploy more soldiers and other
security personnel to the state ahead of this Saturday’s election.
A chieftain of APC in Brass Local Government Area of
Bayelsa state, Nengimote Israel, who gave the commendation in Yenagoa,
said the move will help the APC to sweep the state assembly polls.
According to him, with the deployment of additional
security operatives particularly the army to Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers and
Akwa Ibom States, President Muhammadu Buhari can be guaranteed of the
total victory of the APC in the state and other South-South states.
While congratulating President Buhari for his
re-election, the APC chieftain who is also an ex-militant leader assured
the president that the APC in Bayelsa State with the support of the
military will sweep the State House of Assembly polls come Saturday.
He pointed out that the victory of the APC in the
crucial state assembly election will pave the way for the party to win
the coveted governorship seat later this year which is the ultimate
target.
The ex-warlord noted that the APC was able to deliver
massively for President Buhari in the Presidential and National Assembly
elections because of the support of the army which they effectively
used to overrun the PDP.
Nengimote stated that the PDP will be history in Bayelsa
State and South-South as a whole after Saturday’s election because of
the additional deployment of security agents which has become the source
of strength for the APC.
The APC chieftain however called on leaders of the party
to release in good time funds meant for the election, insisting that
supporters of the party and the security operatives must be adequately
rewarded to enable them seamlessly carry out the plan of the party
across the state on Saturday.
