Tension As New PDP Train Hits jonathan’s Home State by jdilight(m): 7:14am On Oct 18, 2013
The formation of the New Peoples
Democratic Party in President Goodluck
Jonathan’s home state of Bayelsa, many assume is a clog on the wheel on which the president is driving to Aso rock come 2015.

Meanwhile, The Chairman of the Bayelsa State chapter of the New PDP, Mr. Richard Kpodo, and members of his executive had been declared wanted by the state police command.

Publicity Secretary of the faction, Mr.
Godwin Sidi, a former youth leader of the PDP in the South-South, said the decision to declare support for the faction was due to the fact that the Tukur-led PDP lacked internal democracy. So, we are
now saying that this was not the basis of forming a party and we decided to break away.

Responding to a question as to whether
the activities of the faction was not a
threat to Jonathan’s possible 2015 re-
election bid, he said Jonathan had no
moral justification to seek for a “third
term. According to him, the President and the Vice-President, are on the same ticket, as such, since Jonathan swore an oath of office and completed the term of late Umaru Yar’Adua, he had completed his first term and that he was currently serving out his second term. “So, this is his tenure that is coming to an end, why would he now say he wants to run for the third time? Someone before him tried it and we kicked against it.

“I am a Bayelsan he said, there is no
sentiment. Personally I am going to the
Supreme Court to challenge his third term bid.

But the state PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Makbere John, dismissed the Richard Kpodo-led faction of the party. He said they were not registered members of the PDP. “Go and ask them when last they paid their party dues. Those are the issues we are raising with most of them. Ask them to tender their membership cards. “As far as we legitimate members of the party are concerned, those people who are crying wolf are not members of PDP.

Makbere berated Sidi for saying Jonathan had no moral justification to run for second term. He said Sidi was in no position to say that Jonathan had no moral justification. He said, “Are you saying that Bill Clinton or Barack Obama’s vice-president who served for eight years with them is not entitled to contest the Presidency? And if he eventually wins, he is not entitled to enjoy a second tenure? That is a rhetoric that will answer that question that he is raising".

Dickson chose the venue of the monthly
transparency briefing in October, to
allude to the existence of the splinter
group in his domain. He dismissed them as people who were of no political consequence. He said, “When the time comes, we would sort them out. We know them and they are merely ranting.”
