Bayelsa: Group Blasts Alaibe’s Critics

By Ayodele Oluwafemi
The Bayelsa PDP Preservation group, BPPG, has refuted the claim by the Association of Concerned Bayelsa Professionals, ACBP, that Chief Timi Alaibe, Dr. Franklyn Ossaisai and others are planning to incite violence in the state. 
ACBP had earlier accused the aforementioned PDP stakeholders in the state of planning to incite violence so as to ensure the leadership of the party shifts the venue of the primary election from Bayelsa to Abuja or Port Harcourt.
Reacting to the allegation, the Coordinator of BPPG, Eboiwel Ogulu, noted that the aim of the allegation levelled against the duo of Alaibe and Ossaisai was to distract the good people of Bayelsa from accepting the duo. 

Ogulu noted that the achievements and qualities of Alaibe are there to speak for him, noting that the governorship aspirant is an apostle of non-violence.
According to him, “Alaibe, for instance is not an unknown quality in Bayelsa politics. His antecedents both as public servant and private businessman are there for everyone to see. He is an apostle of non-violence and inclusiveness who headed the Presidential Amnesty Programme that disarmed, demobilized and rehabilitated the militants about a year ago. How can such a man resort to violence because of politics? 
” If this group actually exists, it remains the real enemy of the people of Bayelsa state. For one, the so-called threat of pre-meditated violence is not based on a strand of intelligence by the Department of State Services, DSS, but on the intelligence gleaned by these indeterminate concerned non-professionals; needless to add that this threat exists only in their warped imagination.
“We hasten to add that while others rely on some super factor to swing things in their favour. Alaibe had been afield preaching to relevant stakeholders why he remains inevitable in the calculation to take Bayelsa to greater heights,” he said.
