Bayelsa Guber Poll: Fear grips PDP.

-
By Titus Innocent


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against deploying National Commissioners as well as Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) from other states for the November 16 governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states. The party said in a statement yesterday through its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan that it already had a “due diligence report” on each of the commissioners. 
 “Our party recognises that while some are of clean records in their previous responsibilities, there are others who are known to be of questionable character and fared far below expectations in their responsibility.  
“The PDP cautions the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to note that the deployment of officials with known integrity issues is capable of triggering crisis and jeopardizing the credibility of the electoral process. “It is also important to state that Kogi and Bayelsa elections present an opportunity for INEC to show that it has become committed to free, fair and credible election without being influenced or manipulated,” the party said.

The victims of PDP Campaign Rally in Nember have called on the governor of Bayelsa State to come to their aids. As some of them that sustained high profile injuries and  also lost properties worth thousands of naira, are yet to be compensated by the government. Two of the victims named Tombra Felagha and Teke Toruyai spoke with us and display their displeasure the way the government is handling the issue. "They told us to appear on an inquiry panel constituted by the governor which we did and we also filled forms. We were interviewed and also wrote our properties that were lost as a result of the ugly incident. We were promised to be given the monetary values of our property lost. As I am speaking to you , none of the government officials has called us. Our fear is that the government is about to wind up that is why we are using this medium to call on the governor to come to our aids".
