A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention Committee Preye Aganaba said that the Bayelsa State Government has refused to give the party a permit to use the multipurpose hall within the stadium for its state congress.

Aganaba, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, also alleged that the Bayelsa Government was doing everything possible to frustrate the conduct of APC State Congress slated for today.

He said the party executive in Bayelsa applied for the use of the facility officially, adding that the state government, therefore, had no reason to deny the APC its use.

He added that the APC in Bayelsa had been peaceful and orderly as revealed in its just concluded Ward and Local Government Congresses, saying that there was assurance that Saturday´s state congress would be crisis-free.

He, therefore, urged the state government to have a rethink, adding that it would amount to political intolerance if the state government refused APC the use of a public place such as the stadium.
