Members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly are at
daggers’ drawn with their Speaker, Mr. Kombowei Benson,
over statement credited to him against President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The lawmakers were said to have expressed their displeasure to the speaker for making what they described
as “degrading and inciting” comments against the President.
The angry lawmakers were said to have held series of secret
meetings in Yenagoa where they discussed and condemned
the speaker’s tirade against President Jonathan in an interview he granted a regional tabloid.
The Nation gathered on Wednesday that they were agitated
that the speaker made statements suggesting that President
Jonathan was plotting to impose candidates on members of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state’s party
primaries.
They were said to have disassociated themselves from the
offensive comments saying, “the speaker is on his own.”
It was gathered that the aggrieved lawmakers further
frowned at the speaker’s verbal tirade against the Senator
representing Bayelsa Central Senatorial District, Mr.
Emmanuel Paulker.
One of the lawmakers who attended the meeting said the
speaker goofed for joining voices with persons who were
bent in bringing down Mr. President.
The lawmaker who pleaded anonymity said as a speaker of
the House in President’s state, Benson was expected to
galvanise support for the President instead of making
enemies for him.
“We are not happy with the disposition of the speaker and
we have resolved in our meetings that he should retract
every statement he made against Mr. President.
“President Jonathan has full support of all the constituencies
in the state including the constituency of the speaker.
Jonathan was once a deputy governor and a governor in this
state, so he has large following.
“The evidence of this following was recently demonstrated in the state when his wife, Dame Patience, visited Yenagoa,” he said.
