The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed the cancellation of Southern Ijaw Local Government votes by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The praised what it described as the courage of the people of Bayelsa state for fearlessly “curtailing the rigging machinery” of the All Progressives Congress (APC). It described the election in the area as fabricated.
In a statement on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party said but for the bravery of Bayelsans in standing up for their votes against the hordes of harassment by the military and other security forces working for the APC, their will as a people would have been completely subverted in the election.
The PDP commended the actions and concerted efforts of its members in resisting rigging and impunity.

The statement said, “We condemn in the strongest possible term, the wanton confiscation and transfer of voting materials by security operatives directly to APC agents for outright allocation of votes.

“For the purposes of the rescheduled Southern Ijaw election, we wish to make it abundantly clear that we are ready, willing and able to defend the choice of the people.

“Never again will this leadership of the PDP allow our party candidates to be manipulated out of any election at any level. In that regard, we have activated our structures across the country to defend our mandate always, with all force and means available in a democracy.
“Nevertheless, we are indeed concerned about the apparent inability of the present INEC to conduct a credible election in a single state, especially in the light of the fact that very soon they will need to conduct a general election in all the states.

“Finally, for the security forces busy brutalizing innocent Nigerians exercising their democratic rights, we declare that they should hide their faces in shame over the flexing of muscles in terror free zones”.

Nna Mehn....I Bu Guy Man!!!
I Like the way u said it ......
To be fore warned is to be fore armed.....

Sylva met more than a match in Dickson... They thought it was going to be a smooth ride just like it was in Kogi, little did they know Dickson is not Wada..

If you wanna play dirty bring it on.. We are waiting for the rescheduled election. Southern Ijaw will fall just like the 6 others


Bayelsa is PDP.. Half of the votes APC got were rigged but we will let it pass since we are still comfortable with our lead..

Dickson we know, Sylva we don't

Anything that favours PDP is welcome.
But APC need to dash beyelsa to the PDP, haba since this year started PDP has not won any free and fair election.
Even the ones the manage to win the tribunal nullifies it, APC is now used to winning.

I think I prefer Pdp as the opposition... they have more balls than that cocaine sniffing party... plus it will be nice seeing them restructure the party after getting rid of the dead woods in apc.....Apc....shame
