The plan of a People Democratic Party chieftain from Bayelsa state, Chief Alex Ekiotenne and his followers to dump party for the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, is not only embarrassing, but disgraceful.
The party said, Ekiotenne and his loyalists had benefited from Dickson administration, his action to dump the party shows that he is self centered.
The PDP however asked Mr. Alex to tell Bayelsans the real truth, for his sudden change of mind is because of his greed and selfishness. Alex sudden changed of mind was fueled because, Governor Dickson turned down his request to hire one of his guest houses for a monthly fee of N150m. Which is the main reason why Ekiotenne abandoned the PDP for the APC.
Ekiotenne who, until the news conference, was Honorary Special Adviser to Dickson, alleged that lack of strategic planning, prioritisation and a result-oriented advisory system had given productivity and sustained performance of Dickson’s administration as serious impairment.
He had also alleged that Dickson’s administration had squandered its political capital and that the psyche of the people of the state had broken down irretrievably under the governor.
