APC to Presidency: Stop The Arrest, Harassment Of Our Members In BayelsaThe All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the alarm over the arrest and persistent harassment of its members in Bayelsa State by the PDP-led federal government, using the police as its arrowhead, in an attempt to clear the state of all the vestige of opposition ahead of the 2015 general elections. ”For those who may say this plan is far fetched, Mr. Samuel Ogbuku, the former Chief of Staff to Ex-Bayelsa Gov. Timipre Sylva, who is a key APC leader in the state, has been arrested in connection with a murder that took place in 2010. We are therefore calling on the Presidency to stop the harassment and intimidation of our members in Bayelsa State,” APC said. The party said the police in particular must not allow itself to be used to stifle democracy and deny Bayelsa citizens of their constitutional rights to associate freely, warning that any further harassment, intimidation and threat to the lives of its members in Bayelsa will not be tolerated.
