Bayelsa: PDP Chairman Alerts Members To APC ‘Disinformation’ Campagin

The chairman of the Bayelsa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Cleopas Moses, has urged members to remain steadfast and rebuff insinuations of a mass defection from the party to the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to him the APC thrives on blackmail and lacks a marketable candidate to win the governorship election in the state. He added that the opposition party in the state more divided than the PDP against the impression the APC was giving.

“The APC cannot and does not have the capacity to win in Bayelsa. It does not have a marketable governorship candidate that Bayelsans will accept and support.”

Mr. Moses noted that the recent appointment of Bayelsans as Minister of State (Petroleum) and an Executive Director in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was to entice people of the state with bogus promises that they cannot keep.

He thanked leaders of the party for their understanding and for remaining resolute as key stakeholders.

He recalled that during the 2015 governorship election in the state, no fewer than 100 leaders had defected to the opposition by this time.

“In 2015, about this time of the governorship election, over 100 leaders of our party had openly defected. Yet our governor led the party to victory against even a more experienced opponent, Chief Timipre Sylva.

“This time, there has been no massive defection of major stakeholders. So party members should not be disturbed by rumours of defection. This is the normal tactics of the opposition in the state.

“There are more litigations and crises within the APC than the issues our members are raising. Our party has set up processes to reconcile all of these. When the campaigns start, Bayelsans will have a clear choice to make between our candidate and that of the other party,” he said.
