He said: “To defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a task that must be done. Everyone has seen the hardship in the state. We are in total darkness. We cannot continue to remain a civil service state. Together, we will change the narrative”.
The state chairman of the party, Jothan Amos, said that the APC had the best chance to win the November 16 Governorship election in the state.
The statement named Professor Seiyefa Brisibe as the Alternate Director-General while Eddy Orubo, Christopher Enai, Chief Sonme Ogilogi and Festus Daumiebi were inaugurated as the deputy director-generals.
While a former Acting Governor, Chief Nestor Binabo and a former Deputy Governor Peremobowei Ebebi emerged the advisers to the campaign council, the State Secretary of APC, Alabo Martins, was named the Campaign Secretary.
Alternate Director-General, Prof Brisibe, said that the APC represented the hope and yearnings of the people of the state and expressed confidence of victory.
“We are going to Government House, Yenagoa. We will banish hunger. We will banish poverty. We will banish insecurity. We will banish darkness. We will banish dictatorship”, he said.
Ebebi, who recently defected to the APC from the PDP also thanked the leadership of APC in the state for appointing him as Adviser to the Campaign Council.
He promised to put in his best in ensuring that APC emerged victorious in the Governorship election on November 16.
Also, a popular politician from Bayelsa East, Dr. George Allen Fente, congratulated all those appointed into the various committees, advising that the coming election presented an opportunity to “choke” the PDP.

In her speech, an Elder stateswoman, Lady Anne Yougha, who spoke on behalf of Bayelsa Central zone said that the people of the state were tired of living in darkness.
She said that the APC ticket of Chief David Lyon and Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo represented light.
“The time has come for change, to move Bayelsa State to the next level. The Ijaw people have always played politics with political forces at the centre. If we join hands with the centre our fortunes and material conditions will change for the better. We will not remain beggars.”
