APC leader blames Bayelsa senators for non-passage of PIB All Progressives Congress leader in Bayelsa State, Mr. Preye Aganaba, has blamed senators from Bayelsa State for non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill lying before the National Assembly. Aganaba, whose father, is reputed to be the person who submitted the Bayelsa State creation document to the then Head of State, late Gen. Sani Abacha, made this known in an interview on Monday. He 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.” Aganaba, who has picked the APC nomination form to run for Bayelsa Central Senatorial District, said there was the need to kick out the current crop of Bayelsa representatives in the National Assembly for the state to move forward.
