The Timipre Sylva Campaign Organisation (TSCO), yesterday, accused the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson, of dangerously meddling in the internal affairs of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
TSCO, in a statement by Mr. Doifie Buokoribo, alleged that the governor sponsored a media publication that Sylva was mounting pressure on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, to arrest APC State Chairman Tiwe Orunimighe.
According to the report, Sylva was pushing for the arrest of Tiwe, following unresolved controversies surrounding the emergence of his running mate.
But Dickson’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson said it was not true that the government was interfering in the affairs of the APC.
He said the government would neither dissipate its energy nor waste its resources on APC because, according to him, Sylva was not an electable candidate.
However, Buokoribo said the false publication was part of a PDP campaign programme based on reckless interference in the affairs of the APC due to lack of achievements to campaign with.
He said: “Seriake Dickson and his party, the PDP have, since the beginning of the campaign for the December 5 governorship election, become ruthless, interfering busybodies in the affairs of the APC..”
