| Governor Dickson loses aides to APC |
Scores of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State on Friday defected to the All Progressives Congress.
The defection saw two-time member of
House of Representatives, Chief Warman Ogoriba, and many other PDP
supporters, some former aides of Governor Seriake Dickson, embracing the
APC.
Those who also dumped the PDP were
former commissioners in the state: Charles Opuola, Nelson Belief,
Sylvanus Abila, and Ayiba Nelson.
Others are Adolphus Ofongo, Lucky Yeboah, Romeo Ebizimor, Williams Ofoni, John Ebikake and Moses Tariebe, among others.
Prominent
APC chieftains who received the defectors at the party’s secretariat in
Yenagoa former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva; former
Acting governors Nestor Binabo and Werinipre Seibarugu; Ambassador Felix
Oboro, state Chairman of APC, Tiwei Orunimighe; his deputy, Eddy
Julius; Secretary, Marlin Daniel and Publicity Secretary, Panebi
Fortune, among others.
Sylva said APC would, on February 14, 2016, occupy the state Government House, Yenagoa, as the ruling party.
According to him, the PDP is dead in Bayelsa State and the people are only waiting for its funeral, which will come soon.
Urging all members of the APC to unite,
the former governor said, “The party is a sweet family. The message is
that all of us should come together and form one big family. The dirt on
Yenagoa and Bayelsa will be swept off by the APC and thrown into
Opuabadi (sea).
“As for the PDP, do not make any
mistake. The PDP government in Bayelsa State is dead. Its funeral is
being postponed. We will bury it soon.”
