Bayelsa State governor, Henry Seriake Dickson
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the outgoing governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson of plotting to loot the properties of the state.
The APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Yekini Nabena made the allegation in a statement he issued in Abuja.
According to him, the governor, his family members and cohorts have perfected plans to loot properties of the government House before the February 14 handover date.
Similarly, he alleged plan by the outgoing governor to possibly flee the country before the handover ceremony.
Buttressing his allegations, the APC chieftain also made reference to the recent statement issued by the media aide to the Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, disclosing that some government property had already been stolen.
“As contained in a statement issued by the media aide to the Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, it has already been disclosed how some yet-to-be identified individuals have looted property, including, a generator, electronic equipment, furniture, Air Conditioners and other sundry items in the Deputy Governor’s Guest House in Government House, Yenagoa.
“We have since learnt that the last minute looting of the state government property is being orchestrated by Governor Dickson and his Chief of Staff, Talford Ongolo in the guise of hand over activities.
“This is a glimpse into the greedy and shameless level of stealing Bayelsans had has to endure under the outgoing administration of Governor Dickson.
“In as much as the incoming government of APC will nit persecute anybody, the outgoing PDP government must account for every kobo misused while in office.” (New Telegraph)
