Yenagoa—Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State has slammed the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, saying that the group has no business in the state which is a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stronghold and as such should move to states where the opposition holds sway to mobilise support for the PDP.

But TAN, in a statement in Yenagoa, insisted that the governor has no constitutional right to ask any group to leave the state.

The governor had accused TAN of promoting subversive activities and inciting crisis within the PDP in the state.

Dickson, who mobilised Bayelsans from all the local government areas in the state to rally support for President Jonathan’s re-election bid, called on groups such as TAN and others in Bayelsa State, putting up campaign structures for the President, other than the PDP, to take their activities to states where the opposition is presently enjoying greater control.
