Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, on Monday accused military of operating as a terror force, alleging it played ignoble roles in the last presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.
Dickson, who made the allegation while presenting flags to the party’s House of Assembly candidates in Yenagoa, accused the operatives of a coup against democracy.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media Relations, Fidelis Soriwei, however, said Dickson urged the people to turn out in their large numbers to vote for all PDP candidates despite intimidation and harassment by partisan security forces.
The Governor reiterated his call on the Federal Government to direct the security agencies to conduct themselves professionally and do what was right in the interest of peace, stability and democracy.
According to Dickson, no political party that is popular would resort to violence, rigging and winning elections through the barrel of the gun.
He stressed PDP demonstrated its dominance in the state by winning fair and square in all the places where elections held in the last presidential election.
But speaking in Abuja, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said writing those suspended was not a precondition for their suspension.
