Yenagoa—Governor Seriake Dickson of
Bayelsa State, yesterday, blamed the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP’s loss at the federal
level on what he described as indiscipline
and disloyalty of some party members.

He spoke in Yenagoa at the inauguration of a
special committee to examine the
performance and conduct of the PDP leaders
during the just concluded presidential,
National and state Assembly elections.

The committee, which is chaired by the state
Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha
Jonah (rtd), was inaugurated in Government
House, Yenagoa and has two weeks to
submit an interim report to government.

Dickson said that the committee is also
expected to determine and recommend steps
to be taken against those who worked
contrary to the party’s interests during the
general elections.

The governor, who warned that dire
consequences await any member of the PDP,
who engages in anti-party activities,
emphasized the importance of party
discipline and loyalty towards achieving
success in any political contest
