APC Senatorial Aspirant Blames Bayelsa Senators for Stalling PIB Bill
The leader of the Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, Preye Aganaba, has blamed senators from the state stalling the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill in the National Assembly.
Aganaba, who picked up his APC nomination form for the Bayelsa Central Senatorial District on Monday, said, “The Petroleum Industry Bill has been lying fallow for over five years and Bayelsa senators are in charge of that PIB. It is amazing. When a ranking government official accused those in the downstream sector of taking bribes to kill the PIB, many people thought he was lying.
“But many years after, the PIB remains where it is and we start blaming other people that they do not want it passed. Accusations were made concerning the bill and the realities are dawning on all of us now.”
He stated that the people of the state would have to vote out the current senators of the state for progress to happen.
