The
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State has said that Timi Alaibe, the All
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant is interested in dredging
because he owns the biggest dredging machines in Nigeria, ITRealms reports.
The PDP on Thursday made mockery of
the idea of dredging as a major policy thrust whichAlaibehad in a recent
electronic media advertisement stated that he would favour dredging as a major
means of economic development and empowerment if he wins.
As a result, ITRealms gathered, the PDP Secretary in Bayelsa State,KekuGodspower,
in a press statement in Yenagoa, said such proposal was bereft of “clear
thinking” on the challenge of empowerment and development in the state.The
party wondered what significant economic value and benefit dredging would bring
to the people of the state as proposed by Alaibe.
He said, “Frankly speaking, the PDP
is surprised by Alaibe’s thought process on issues of governance and
development. By making dredging a core policy thrust of his administration, if
elected, obviously exposes his shallowness; it shows that the man lacks
strategic thinking and bereft of clear cut ideas on how to advance the course
of governance and development of the state. In a 21st century where
deep knowledge and big ideas are shaping public policies and development
issues, Alaibe is talking about dredging. It’s ridiculous."
Keku berated the governorship aspirant
for entering into the race, adding that given the shallowness of his ideas, he
has “nothing fantastic” to offer the people of the state, ITRealms learnt.
