APC Denies Involvement In The Kidnap Of Governor Dickson’s Sister

The Bayelsa state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation has described the accusation coming from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state concerning the kidnap of Governor Seriake Dickson’s younger sister as the most stupid statement ever issued by anybody. 

Chief Nathan Egba, the Director of Media and Publicity of Sylva/Igiri campaign Organization said:“We sympathize with the Dickson’s family  and condemn in very strong terms the kidnap of the young lady, we want to also condemn the irresponsible statement from the PDP Campaign spokesman, Jonathan Obuebite.

“Am sure Obuebite Jonathan didn’t even realise that by this statement, the PDP was clearly ‎admitting their involvement in the recent kidnapping of family members and business associates of the APC Candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva and his running mate, Elder Wilberforce Igiri”.

The statement recalled  that on the day of APC Campaign in Brass LGA, Mr Koinpre Douglas, a first Cousin of Chief Sylva was kidnapped, while some workers of a company doing some work in Okpoama, hometown of Chief Sylva were equally kidnapped.

He also recalled the celebrated case of the abduction of the over 90 years old mother of Sylva’s Running Mate, Wilberforce Igiri who spent about a month ‎with the kidnappers before her release.

“So is the PDP saying that having carried out these kidnappings, including that of the Wife of Rt. Hon. Nestor Binabo, the APC is now retaliating by orchestrating the kidnap of Gov. Dickson’s Sister?”, Agba asked.

Nancy Keme Dickson was kidnapped yesterday, December 19, at her shop in Okaka, Yenagoa at about 2.50pm by gunmen in an ash coloured Lexus SUV  who had mounted surveillance on her movements before they struck and whisked her away to an unknown destination.

The kidnap of Governor Dickson’s sister will bring a new twist to the political game and the fragile peace in Bayelsa state after the governorship election on December 5-6 was declared inconclusive because of the violence in Southern Ijaw local government area.

The re-run election is slated for Saturday, January 9, 2016.
