A chieftain of the opposition All Progressives
Congress in Bayelsa, the home state of the
immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan, John
Brambaifa, has stated that the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party will lose the December 5
governorship election in the state due to the
unpopularity of Mr. Jonathan.
Speaking with reporters on Tuesday at the national
secretariat of the APC in Abuja, Mr. Brambaifa said
Mr. Jonathan was unpopular even when he was
picked as vice president in 2007.
Mr. Brambaifa said the former president’s poor
performance while in office has added to his low
popularity among his people.
“I can tell you categorically that the former
president from my assessment is not popular now
and he was not that popular when he was even the
president,” he said.
He also said Mr. Jonathan was not popular
because he was imposed on the people of the
South South region.
“If it were the people of Bayelsa or the people of
the South-south that would have picked a vice
president at the time, I don’t think the people
would have picked Goodluck Jonathan because he
was not popular and he didn’t have the capacity to
be vice president at the time he was imposed,” he
said.
Mr. Brambaifa, a former Senator, said Mr.
Jonathan’s unpopularity was proven by his
inability to win a second term in office.
“If we are saying that PDP is not popular in
Bayelsa state, the unpopularity and the inability to
perform maximally when Jonathan was the
president is likely to contribute to the unpopularity
of the PDP as at now,” he said.
Dickson, a failure
Mr. Brambaifa also came down hard on the
governor of Bayelsa state, Seriake Dickson, saying
the governor did not complete and commission a
single project since his election in 2012.
The APC chieftain challenged Dickson, to tell the
people of the state what he has achieved since his
assumption of office.
“The performance of a governor is a function of
how many projects he commissioned at a given
time, is that not so?” Mr. Braambaifa said. “You
want to go to Bayelsa for the three and half years
that this man has been the governor? There is no
one project, not one that has been commissioned,
not one.
“I am not saying that he didn’t put his hands in
doing one or two projects but it is a functions of
how many project you commission that will
determine you as a performing governor.”
Mr. Brambaifa said the PDP as a party was a
victim of Nigerians demand for change after 16
years of “misrule”.
“I think that there is a wind of change in the
country and the wind of change has caught up with
the PDP as a result of poor performance of PDP
government,” he said. “You know the masses can
take it, but they cannot take it forever, when they
take it to certain point they will revolt.”
Mr. Brambaifa said he was in Abuja as part of the
preparations for the election in Bayelsa state. He
also said the APC is expected to receive about
15,000 defectors across the state before the
election.
