The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State on Wednesday declared that there was no cold war going on between the Governor of the state, Seriake Dickson and President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Bayelsa PDP Secretary, Mr. Godspower Keku, said members of the party were united and solidly behind the aspirations of President Jonathan and Dickson.
There have been speculations of frosty relationship between Dickson and the president, with the governor last weekend accusing an unnamed serving senator from the state of attempting to drive a wedge between him and Jonathan.
Members of the party were also said to be divided between the two blocs of Abuja-based politicians led by the First Lady, Dame Patience and a home-based camp led by the governor.
But Keku said: “As officials of PDP at the state level, we have never had any problem. There is unity of purpose in the party. PDP has grown to an extent beyond what you think because this is Mr. President’s state.
“There is unity between the Governor and Mr. President. There is unity between the Governor and the people of the state.
“All the projects are all around that is why the party is growing. There is no problem within the party. There is no problem and there shall never be any problem”.
The state PDP scribe also denied the existence of Abuja-based politicians, insisting that party members were working together to move the state forward.
