Otiotio Complains of PDP Hijacking Election Materials in Bayelsa

The Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Dennis Otiotio has accused  the People’s Democratic Party of masterminding the  hijacking of  voting materials and taking them to police station to thumbprint.

Giving a situation report from Nembe axis around some minutes after nine o’clock in the morning, Otiotio maintained that in Nembe the situation is very peaceful even though the voting materials were yet to get to the communities because of the difficult terrain.

But he testified that Nembe was generally peaceful adding that he was still watching the whole situation.

Otiotio said   “Well in Nembe,  they are still distributing materials.  You know   our own with the logistics involve, we use boat. We are at the waterside. The INEC  people are at the waterside. It’s now that they are trying to use boat to convey the materials to the various wards. So in my place the election has not started they are still distributing materials right now,

“But we are aware  that PDP is masterminding the hijacking of voting materials. We also have a disturbing  report from ward 10 in Sangana  Brass  local government that PDP supporters are chasing away anybody that is not voting for PDP.

“Militants have taken over ward 10 also at Aleibiri in Ekeremor, miltants have taken over the place chasing away APC supporters from the community.

“Then in ward 5 in Yenegoa local government area specifically  in some units now they have hijacked  the materials and they are thumb printing them in the police station. I just got the report just now.

“But generally, everything is peaceful and particularly where I am, they are still distributing materials now.”
