Hon. Bello Bina, the former Chairman of the Brass Local Government Council has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressive Congress (APC) in protest against the alleged show of power drunkenness and lack of proper consultations with stakeholders of the Party in the state.
According to Bello Bina, who in 2015 threatened to go into exile if Governor Dickson did not emerged for second tenure, said the single-handed decisions by the State Governor to choose successors and others within the party without consultation with stakeholders.
Hon. Bello Bina, who is also a known enterprenur in Bayelsa State, said the decision to dump the PDP for APC was based on the need to have a voice in the affairs of a political party,’ the Bayelsa PDP has now being hijacked by those that are power drunk. They can only force the horse to the stream, they can not force the horse to drink water. These people have come to destroy the PDP with their selfish interest.’
‘These people have used their selfish interest to destroy the PDP. These known PDP chieftains have become authoritative and silenced the voice of the majority member of the party. Now that PDP is ruling, I don’t have anything. I have decided to vote for the APC and David Lyon. I have left the PDP. PDP people are too greedy with power.’
‘We were the first set of people that started the PDP with Alameiseigha. Many of these people were in Alliance for Democracy (AD) then. They making choices of who becomes the running mate and others without consulting party leaders including the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.’
On Governor Dickson’s decision to remove him alongside others as Local Government caretaker Committee, Hon. Bina said though the Governor had the prerogative to sack any political appointee, ‘ But my case was different. I was removed because I disobeyed Governor’s order to plunge the Brass local Government into violence and force members of the APC out of the council.’
‘I refused and it is on record that under my tenure no youth was injured and they all reside together as one despite the political differences. But look at the council now, we have many corpses either lying in the mortuary or buried. It is a shame.’
On his choice of David Lyon as the next Governor, Bina argued that the APC flag beater is a personal friend and tested personality that can be trusted with the affairs of the state.
