Bayelsa Rescheduled Primary Fails To Hold by bilulu(m): 7:28am On Sep 30, 2015 |
YENAGOA —THERE was confusion in Yenagoa, yesterday, as
the rescheduled primaries by All Progressives Congress,
APC, to pick a governorship candidate, for the December 5,
governorship election did not hold.
As early as 8am, the Samson Siasia Sports Complex,
Yenagoa, the announced venue, had been occupied by Igbo
residents in Bayelsa State, who were celebrating the annual
Igbo National Day, while there was no sign of APC officials.
However, there was heavy security presence at the Complex
mounted by a combined team of soldiers, mobile policemen
and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,
NSCDC.
An anti-bomb police vehicle was also stationed at the
complex.
Some soldiers at the venue, who also expressed surprise
over the development, told Vanguard that they came to
provide security for the primaries, only to learn that the
exercise might have been shifted to today.
Although no official statement was issued for the sudden
development by the party in Yenagoa.
However, there were conflicting reports by some members
of the state executives of the party, with some claiming that
the election would take place yesterday night, while others
said the election would be conducted today.
At the state party secretariat in Yenagoa, scores of delegates
and some state party executives, were seen milling round
while others were seen discussing in groups.
Meanwhile, the Timi Alaibe Campaign Organisation, has
alleged of plans to use a fresh delegates lists for the
rescheduled primaries.
Spokesperson of the organisation, Mr Patterson Ogon, who
disclosed this in Yenagoa, yesterday, claimed the plot was
been masterminded by some powerful forces in the APC to
subvert the will of the people for the rescheduled Bayelsa
primaries.
