As gubernatorial election draw near in Bayelsa State, the Convener of the PDP Alliance for Democracy (PAS), Ekiye Akposeye,  has exposed his party the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the neglect of Ogobiri community in Sagbama, Local Government Area the state which has force students to using market square for classroom.
The PDP chieftain Akposeye who did not care whether his outburst is capable of denying Gov. Douye Diri second term in office said the incident is worrisome despite the area being a stronghold of the party.
He expressed his concerns on the development in a statement issued on Tuesday in Yenagoa and made available to Core Reporters.
According to him,  “It is worrisome that in 2023 students would have to attend classes in a market square at Ogobiri community.
“Even beyond politics this is bad. As a PDP supporter this is not good for the party. 
“Sagbama has been, for years, one of the strong bases of our party. The news of the unfortunate happenings at Ogobiri is not a good show of our party’s value system”.
Akposeye said he learnt the governor had been briefed about the consequences of such development to his second term campaign bid and that he had asked his Commissioner for Education to visit the area.
He said: “I am told the governor is freshly aware of the fact children are being taught in the market square at Ogobiri as there are no classes and has directed the Hon. Commissioner for Education  who is to arrive there on the 12th of September.
“The common thought is for the APC and its governorship candidate not to be aware of the incidence at Ogobiri hence the hasty dispatch of the education commissioner, but sadly, the Ogobiri incidence has been common knowledge for months and it is not something to politicise
“The approach is simple and classical: build classroom blocks at Ogobiri and take our children off the streets and markets,” he said.
Meanwhile, an official of Bayelsa Ministry of Education confirmed that the Commissioner of Education Dr Gentle Emelah is scheduled to visit the market Square being used as a school in Sagbama.
