‘Only PDP candidates can attract development to Bayelsa’

Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral John Jonah (retd) on Tuesday told the people of Brass Local Government Area to elect candidates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to attract development to their area.

Jonah insisted that only the candidates of the PDP had the experience and qualifications to develop the council.

Jonah, who led members of the PDP to some communities in Brass, part of the East Senatorial District of the state Commissioner for Information, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said there was a need to consolidate on the achievements of Governor Seriake Dickson.

The deputy governor, who spoke on the achievements of the PDP-led government in the state said the party put forward persons known with the track records of performance.

He described the elections as critical for the sustainance of the legacies of the Restoration Government.

He enjoined the people not to fall for the antics of those who failed to bring development to them when they had the opportunity to do so.

He stressed that the PDP was the only credible party with a plan to solve the current economic hardship, insecurity and gross underdevelopment in the country.
