Olusegun Samuel in Yenagoa

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Bayelsa State Chapter had alerted the public, especially Bayelsans, that the State Governor, Senator Douye Diri and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has perfected plans to use some disgruntled politicians on an imminent campaign of calumny against the APC and its Governorship candidate, Timipre Sylva.

A statement signed by Bayelsa APC Chairman, Dennis Otiotio, revealed that the sordid plan is to install hirelings and mercenaries on major media outlets to masquerade and speak as APC chieftains in an infernal bid to discredit the party and it’s governorship candidate.

He said, “It is sad that Governor Douye Diri who never won the 2019 elections has decided to invest in pettiness, anxieties, frivolities and has cowed to it’s basic instincts in the face of credible alternative in a desperate attempt to deceive the good people of Bayelsa State

“The general public is advised to take note and discountenance media outings from pseudo, fake and emergency figures springing out of nowhere to assume the status of APC chieftains or members.”

All attempts to get reaction from the state government and the PDP did not yeild any results as both refuse to speak.on the matter .

While calls to the State Commissioner of Information, Hon. Ayiba Duba and the Chief Press Secretary, Dan Alabrah, was not replied, the Spokesman of the PDP, Ebiye Ogoli, said he was yet to be authorized by the party Chairman to speak on the issues.
