Bayelsa Poll: PDP BoT, Governors Support Diri
The Peoples Democratic Party PDP Board Of Trustees as well as governors on the platform of the party have pledged their support to the gubernatorial candidate of the party in Bayelsa, Senator Douye Diri.
The support is coming ahead of the November 16 governorship poll in the state.
The PDP caucus expressed optimism for a landslide victory in the gubernatorial poll in the state adding that, the party has the popularity its needednto win the election.
The PDP leaders noted that the All Progressive Party APC was not an option for the people of Bayelsa. Adding that, only a tested, articulate and experienced public servant in the mould of Senator Douye Diri, the candidate of the PDP would continue with the developmental exploits of the Governor Seriake Dickson-led Administration.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, said that it was rather unfortunate that the APC presented an unelectable candidate lacking in capacity to represent himself, Bayelsa and Ijaw people for the governorship of the state.
The party however, urged the people of Bayelsa not vote in APC in order to preserve the legacy of the incumbent governor from being destroyed.
Meanwhile, Secondus noted that the APC and its leaders should tender an open apology to the People of Bayelsa and Nigerians for presenting David Lyon to Bayelsa for the position of governor.
He said “As soon as they took over in 2015, the entire system collapsed, the government collapsed, security collapsed, hunger came in, banking and everything collapsed in the country. Will you vote for them?

“The country has been damaged by APC government. Do not be deceived, this country has been damaged, our electoral process has been damaged, it is only PDP that can rescue it.
“When you are a governor, you must speak to an international community, you must speak to the nation, it is not a village affair, we don’t want people who will go there and be intimidated, and they cannot represent Bayelsa.
“The security agencies should not allow themselves to be used by APC to ruin this election, the country is suffering because of the damage done to our election. We don’t want a repetition of what happened in Rivers. All those in authority should allow peace to prevail.
Stop damaging the country, people are in hunger, let’s start from Bayelsa, to practice free and fair election, one man one vote.”
Governors present at the rally include Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta; Emeka Ihedioha, Imo; and Seyi Makinde, Oyo, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, Senator Bala Mohammed, Bauchi, Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa amongst others.
