Kinsmen of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Ogbia
Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, including
Senator Clever Ikisikpo, have said they dumped the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) because of its method of
operation.

Ikisikpo, who represented Bayelsa East in the 7th National
Assembly, said he and former federal and state lawmakers as
well as ex-office holders from Ogbia dumped the PDP
because it was run as a one-man business.
He spoke yesterday at his Kolo Creek home.
The senator said he and his compatriots, who will be
formally welcomed to the All Progressives Congress this
weekend, joined the party for its transparency, internal
democracy, equity and fairness.

Ikisikpo said: “What is happening is historic in the sense that
we have now joined a new party, and that is a reigning
party. We will make sure that APC becomes the ruling
party in Bayelsa State. By the grace of God, by
December, APC will take this state.
“Of course, we are ready to work as a team to make sure
that we achieve our goal”.

The senator, who said he had been a PDP member since
1998, added that he left the party when it derailed from its
founding principles.

According to him, the PDP was hijacked by “one man” and
the level of impunity in the party was high and intolerable.
Ikisikpo said: “We formed the PDP in Bayelsa State; we
made the PDP in Bayelsa State. But those who do not
know how it came about came from behind and hijacked it. I
don’t belong to a party where there is a high level of
impunity. So, I went to a system where there must be
transparency.

“I went to a place where the voice of every person must be
recognised, not a situation where only one person would
dictate the pace for others. You cannot decide my destiny
because it is God that gave me that destiny”.
