You didn’t complain when Dickson’s friend was Bayelsa Police boss – APC blasts PDP
state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for kicking
against the deployment of a new Commissioner of Police in the state.
In a statement on Wednesday in Yenagoa, the party said that PDP had by
opposing the deployment engaged in inciting the people against the
police, hence calling for anarchy.
The statement, signed by the Publicity Secretary of APC in the state,
Mr Doifie Buokoribo, was in response to a statement by PDP, alleging
that the police commissioner's office had become APC's "operational
political base".
The APC said that it considered it indecent and reprehensible that a
party in control of the government in the state could be frightened by
a lawful routine security posting.
It said that there was no evidence of infraction to warrant unlawful
behaviour among the population.
The party recalled that not long ago, under the Gov. Seriake Dickson's
administration, "his friend and member of his party, PDP, was posted
to the state as commissioner of police.
"And, in spite of apparent injustices, APC never resorted to PDP's
current attempt to provoke public anger against the police and cause
anarchy."
It accused the PDP of having something up its sleeves and fearing that
the new police boss in the state would not condone such.
"The PDP is taking its objection to the posting of the new Police
Commissioner in Bayelsa, Mr Joseph Mukan, beyond the red lines. It has
become a joke taken too far," APC stated.
