Governor Seraike Dickson has stressed that the All Progressives Congress is up to mischief for speculating that the government would raise fresh loan to sponsor the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.
Bayelsa State Governor, Seraike Dickson
The Bayelsa State Government has refuted claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that it was planning to raise fresh loan to prosecute the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, the purported claim of a fresh loan was a clear mischief on the part of the opposition party in the state.
He said rather than looking for a new loan, the Bayelsa State Government was only drawing from an existing loan facility that had since been approved for the airport project it said was at 60 per cent level of completion.
He said it was unfortunate that the Sylva campaign was raising the issue of loan, saying the APC candidate and his campaign officials should be ashamed of their past in this regard.
