The opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that Nigerian soldiers were seen escorting political thugs that are sponsored by the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP claims that the thugs are for the purpose of causing mayhem and perpetrate electoral malpractices in the Bayelsa governorship election.
The party made this disclosure on twitter through its twitter handle @PDPNIGERIA.
Where are the 14,000 policemen deployed to Bayelsa State 4 this election? Why have APC thugs become more powerful than our security agents?

How can thugs become more powerful than security agents and they told us they sent 14,000 policemen to Bayelsa? #BayelsaDecides

Bayelsa has just 8 LGAs but 14,000 policemen cannot guard 1,806 Polling Units & prevent APC thugs from causing trouble. #BayelsaDecides
