A group known as Bayelsa APC Progressive Movement For Good Leadership and Governance has condemned former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's recent visit to APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu Ganduje.
At a press briefing held in their head office, in Yenagoa, the group through their secretary, Mrs Evelyn Doogood
stated that Jonathan's interference in Bayelsa State political gimmicks was becoming offensive, unbecoming of a statesman and potends grave danger if it continues.
The group stated that Good luck's frequent visits to the APC leadership is not unconnected with his penchant for Douye Diri to be allowed for a second term in office, against the will of the people of Bayelsa State.
In a press briefing 9n Sunday in Yenagoa, the group advised that the former president should respect political party's rights and boundaries; if he is still interested in Party politics adding that APC will be glad to recieve him, but if not, he should stay away from interfering in APC politics.
"This is disgusting from a father who enjoys access and respect from both party leaders, hence a neutral role would have been expected of him.
"Chief Timipre Sylva has no personal problem with former President Goodluck Jonathan, to the extent that he should reduce himself to be a messenger of the Douye Diri led administration, by visiting APC leaders every now and then, to talk them out of support for their party in Bayelsa State.
"In Nigeria there are former presidents who do not reduce themselves to be messengers of their state governors. We have former presidents Abdulsalam Abubakar, Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo, etc.
"Do they interfer in their states politics, moving up and about like Jonathan does? They maintain dignity, neutrality and decorum as much as possible and that should be emulated by Goodluck Jonathan, moving forward, not to reduce the office of 'former president' to the mud.
"But in any case, there is an end to every thing under the sun. God is not unjust and will grant chief Timipre Sylva victory in the end. Amen. She concluded.
