<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State has condemned the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for kicking against the deployment of a new Commissioner of Police in the state.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Wednesday in Yenagoa, the party said that PDP had by opposing the deployment engaged in inciting the people against the police, hence calling for anarchy.<\/p>\n

The statement, signed by the Publicity Secretary of APC in the state, Mr Doifie Buokoribo, was in response to a statement by PDP, alleging that the police commissioner\u2019s office had become APC\u2019s \u201coperational political base\u201d.<\/p>\n

The APC said that it considered it indecent and reprehensible that a party in control of the government in the state could be frightened by a lawful routine security posting.<\/p>\n

It said that there was no evidence of infraction to warrant unlawful behaviour among the population.<\/p>\n

The party recalled that not long ago, under the Gov. Seriake Dickson\u2019s administration, \u201chis friend and member of his party, PDP, was posted to the state as commissioner of police.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, in spite of apparent injustices, APC never resorted to PDP\u2019s current attempt to provoke public anger against the police and cause anarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

It accused the PDP of having something up its sleeves and fearing that the new police boss in the state would not condone such.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PDP is taking its objection to the posting of the new Police Commissioner in Bayelsa, Mr Joseph Mukan, beyond the red lines. It has become a joke taken too far,\u201d APC stated.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
