A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, has warned the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, against smuggling Governor Seriaki Dicksin of Bayelsa state through the back door to the party.
The chieftain said Dickson’s presence in the party will unsettle the peace in the party noting that his style of politics and antecedents are contrary to the democratic values of the APC adding that he is a liability whose aim is to bring confusion into the party.
In a statement, the Bayelsa state party chieftain signed yesterday in Abuja, he said Dickson is known for political uncertainty and instability which is capable of destabilizing the winning structure the current APC leadership has put in place in the state.
The APC chieftain said Gov. Dickson had earlier in a publication expressed doubt that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), if not put together would emerge victorious during the forthcoming presidential poll, saying some forces within the major opposition party in the country were tearing the party apart.
“Governor Dickson’s antecedent as a politician is not to be reckoned with and so his movement to the ruling party is for a special motive not far from coming to destabilize the APC.
“I hereby call on the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi and all those plotting for the governor to join APC to also tread with caution because his motive is not known to us and his coming to the party will do more damage to the existing peace in the state chapter”, Yekini stated.
