The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bayelsa State yesterday accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the immediate past president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, of under developing the state. The party further called on the state governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, to show the people what the state gained from the six-year rule of Goodluck Jonathan as president. The APC was seemly reacting to a statement credited to Dickson that leaders of the APC were not doing enough to bring development to the state. The state’s major opposition party described the submission by the governor as “mischievous andloose”. This was part of a statement issued by the publicity secretary of the party, Comrade Fortune Panebi, where the APC alleged that both the immediate past president and his party, the PDP, were liabilities to the people of the state. The statement read, ”Our attention was today drawn to a mischievous and loose statement credited to the Bayelsa state governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, apparently in clear exhibition of arrogance and shallowness that APC leaders from Bayelsa state were yet to attract development to the state.” From the statement, it was clear that the governor was either being misled by his own imagination or ‎was merely merely expressing another misguided view of our party,In our view, the statement was reckless even as it was a shameless show of brazen arrogance by a man whose party,the PDP had an ample opportunity to develop Bayelsa state that looked the other way.” Does it not show much of political liability that while Jonathan,a son of Bayelsa state held sway for six years, the state is yet to take off on? What template of development did the former president lay before he was voted out of office? For us in the APC and indeed the generality of Bayelsans, both Jonathan and his party, the PDP were liabilities than they were assets to the people of the state. They under developed Bayelsa State.” May we use this medium to remind Governor Dickson that rather than chasing shadows and engaging in blackmail, he should consider the plight of Bayelsa workers and pay their salaries. The level of hunger, despair and insecurity occasioned by poverty we thought,could ‎be of paramount interest to him.” It is a shame that despite the God given opportunity, Jonathan and his party decided to impoverish the people of Bayelsa state just as Governor Dickson, like an emperor, has taken solace in a conquest-like squeeze of the people. ”We use this medium to advise Governor Dickson to face governance during this period of judicial reprieve as the days of justice are not too far away. It can only be preposterous that development which had eluded our dear state over the years under a PDP national government can be hurriedly canvassed to wrestled to Bayelsa within 15 months of President Muhammadu Buhari administration.” For our teeming supporters, we enjoin you to remain steadfast and ignore provocative moves orchestrated by the state government and its agents to trigger unease. We will win at the end of the battle."

6 years and 1 year are miles apart.

A 6 years old child is already in primary 2 while a one year old child is still in crech.

So don't get it twisted.

Just because he is president doesn't mean he must do smth in his state. He is governing 36states for Christ sake. The person who should be held accountable for the development of bayelsa state is its Governor and it's representatives at the fed house

People like you are the reason why tribalism and nepotism can never leave Nigeria.. GEJ was the president of 36 states and not just bayelsa state. The moment you wish for a President that will focus solely on his state of origin at the expense of the remaining 35 states that's the moment you wish for trouble. Buhari was once a military head of state and currently the president of Nigeria but name just one project he did for kastina state. Obj spent 8years as president of this country but what are the projects he attracted to his home state?

What relevance has this question got with the current economic recession? Besides, was Jonathan the governor of bayelsa state? pls let's forget about what Jonathan did or did not do and focus on the current president in need of impeachment!
