You Are Ingrates,pdp Tells Defectors by timm1990(m): 3:40pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party, Bayelsa State chapter,
has described the decision of Chief Alex Ekiotenne
and his followers to dump the party for the All
Progressives Congress, as not only embarrassing, but
disgraceful.
The PDP said such defection was motivated by greed,
stressing that Ekiotenne and his supporters were
people who had benefitted immensely from the
Seriake Dickson administration in the state.
However, the party in a statement by its Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Osom Makbere, described Ekiotenne
as a self-centred politician.
He stated that Ekiotenne, who is the Publicity
Secretary, Bayelsa Peoples Consultative Assembly,
had allegedly benefitted so much from the present
administration, in terms of award of contracts and
appointments of his siblings, relations and close
associates.
Calling on him to tell Bayelsans the truth and the
main reasons for his sudden cross carpeting, the
party said his action was being influenced by greed
and selfishness.
It noted that the self-styled spokesman of BPCA was
defecting to the All Progressives Congress because
the Governor turned down his request to hire one of
his guest houses for a monthly fee of N150m, as was
the case during the previous administration in the
state.
The State Governor, according to the statement, saw
the hiring of the said guest house as unnecessary and
a waste of the scarce resources of the state and
turned it down.
It pointed out that it was for this reason that
Ekiotenne abandoned the PDP for the APC.
The BPCA spokesman had, during a news conference
during the week, accused Dickson of poor
management of the state’s resources.
Ekiotenne who, until the news conference, was
Honorary Special Adviser to Dickson, alleged that
lack of strategic planning, prioritisation and a result-
oriented advisory system had given productivity and
sustained performance of Dickson’s administration as
serious impairment.
He had also alleged that Dickson’s administration had
squandered its political capital and that the psyche of
the people of the state had broken down
irretrievably under the governor.
He had stated, “While productivity was expected to
rise, there was a steady decline in productivity and
good performance of government in almost all
sectors, which has inexorably led us to the present
state of gloom.
“The decline in federal revenue is a universal issue
that all states have to grapple with as a result of the
drop in oil revenue. But can we justifiably attribute
all our woes to the drop in federal allocation?
Successive governments of the state got carried away
with the fat federal allocations over the years and so
did not think of developing the industrial,
agricultural and commercial sectors of the economy
that would have been able to promote internally
generated revenue in leaps and bounds.
“Bayelsans believe that if consultations and strategic
planning, including prioritisation had been sustained,
we would not have found ourselves where we
are today.” |
