Anger In Bayelsa Assembly Over Speaker’s Comments On Jonathan. by T4taiwo(m): 5:17pm On Nov 26, 2014 |
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. www.thenationonlineng.net/new/anger-in-bayelsa-assembly-over-speakers-comments-on-jonathan/ |
