METRO NAIJA – The chapter of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa
State has accused policemen in the state
of dismantling party’s signpost and the
flags.
The claim has appeared in less than 24
hours after opening of APC’s proposed
secretariat complex along the Tombia
round-about in Yenagoa, the capital city
of Goodluck Jonathans’ home state.
Yesterday’s development has reportedly
attracted crowds, passersby, politicians
and motorists to the amazement of the
members of the ruling party in the state.
The Interim Secretary of APC, Mr. Sidi
Godwin, commented on the dismantling
of the party’s flags and signpost,
described such an act as undemocratic,
unconstitutional and political atrocity.
The Secretary narrated he had received
phone calls from private security men of
the APC that some plain clothes
policemen stormed the secretariat in the
morning and dismantled all the party
flags and signpost.
He alleged that after the action was
carried out, the security operatives took
APC’s symbols to an unknown
destination.
Mr. Sidi further expressed sadness at the
incident, wondered why Nigerians
should not be allowed to freely join
political parties of their choice in the
country, particularly in Bayelsa State.
The Party’s Interim Secretary said
nobody was arrested during the
intervention.
Mr. Hillary Opara, the Bayelsa State
Commissioner for Police, said in a
telephone conversation that he did not
authorise policemen to dismantle any
flags or signpost:
“I am not aware of that. I did not
authorise policemen to dismantle APC
flags and signpost.”

Mr Hilary you a lair can you sue if its not you that ordered your boy dismantling party's property well am not blame you for crime you commit this is a work of Jonathan enemy's of progress s shame

Good one APC... Take the war to his state and hometown.

That flag must be re-instated immediately with apology from the police and whoever sent them.

And APC should organize a rally in that state - we will all be there by God grace.
