Former Governor of Bayelsa state, Chief Timipre Sylva yesterday opened a new phase of the epic battle with President Goodluck Jonathan following the emergence of a faction of the state chapter of the New Peoples Democratic Party (NPDP) led by his loyalists.

They declared their support for the Kawu Baraje led faction of the National Executive Committee of the party yesterday.

The faction, led by an Interim Chairman and Former Security Adviser to Timipre Sylva, Chief Richard Kpodor is made up of former Chairmen of the PDP in the senatorial districts and local government areas of the state.

The interim leaders of the new faction include the former publisher of the Spynet Magazine and close friend of Timipre Sylva, Mr. Sidi D. Godwin, former Commissioner of Water Resources, Chief K.D.Francis Itiokeife, former local government chairman of Kolokuma/Opokuma, Hon. Ineye Ingbaifegha.
Others include Sir Tonye Okio, Hon. Alabo Martins, Abel Ogboma, Timi Frank, Abule Okara and Braboke Stanley.
The Bayelsa New PDP said “Let the old PDP impunity and injustice pass away and a new dawn break over Nigeria with the new authentic PDP. Nigeria has never been more divided. The Niger Delta has never been more divided. Bayelsa state has never been more divided. The new authentic PDP is our only hope. Let’s keep promises! That’s what Ijaws are known for.”

Daily Trust learnt prominent politicians in the states have started identifying with the new PDP, vowing to fight President Goodluck Jonathan to standstill.

Former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Timi Alaibe and one time contender for PDP governorship candidate is being taunted to be considering joining the new PDP given the shameful treatment metted on him at the last mini Convention of the party in Abuja when his name was reportedly dropped at the last minute on the list of delegates from Bayelsa state.

Meanwhile, there was uneasy calm at the state secretariat of the PDP in the state when our correspondent visited as it looked deserted. The state chairman, Col. Samuel Inokoba (rtd) was said to be on vacation abroad.

Daily Trust learnt that even the state exco of the party is crisis ridden. Efforts to speak to members of the exco were not successful as they all switched off their phones.

I pity jonathan and his 2015 ambition

I sensed this was going to happen soon .
Okay o, the factionalisation is spreading, what goes around comes around.

Meanwhile, according to 2013 predictions by Apostle Johnson Suleiman:
* Tukur Will be the last chairman of a united PDP , as there Will be great in-fighting.
* PDP crisis Will deepen.
*Jonathan Will be fought by his own people.


Pls, nobody should ask me what he predicted about ASUU

Is like the forces (internal & external) against GEJ are really working hard to frustrate him out of power, how 'll our trainee president scale through this hurdle, well GEJ get ready to pack all your loads out of Aso rock come 2015.

Toktee: I pity jonathan and his 2015 ambition

Very funny! Who said d crisis in PDP wud be resolved dis tym? D twist in PDP I̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ getting more interesting by d day. Its high tym Jonathan realised dat d clueless loud mouths shouting abt his 2nd term agenda are jez deceiving him. Jonathan cannot win 2015, riding on the back of PDP, or believing wat sum belly filled hungry men are telling him.

Jonathan's advisers and Nairaland supporters refuse to understand why justice is important in whatever one does. What Jonathan did to Sylva was so wrong and yet people supported Jonathan. Same with what he has been doing to Amaechi. Those thinking that Jonathan has any support in Cross River are also making a big mistake after they were wrongly stripped of clear oilfield and seeded to Akwa-Ibom. Even what was done to Henry Okah after helping in bombing for them is still fresh in his boys' mind. All these people are against Jonathan in South-south. Do you think Urhobo people are happy? Do you think Ogoni people are happy that they are being prevented from producing Rivers Governor in 2015? Do you think any Niger Deltan that plies East-West road is happy?

LMAO Retardeen and his people from the whiny part of Nigeria will soon arrest and accuse all of them for being traitors and betrayers! They will blame them for having a different opinion and not just going along with their ebelechukwu azikiwe "son".

Does it matter? There is a brand new international airport in Enugu. 2nd Niger Bridge is almost completed. Railway line from Onitsha, Imo Abia straight to Bayelsa connect to Lagos and Kano! Ihejirika is COAS, Asari and Tompolo are buying houses and planes in billions, yet you cannot see the achievement?? Well, every ibo and Niger Delta is happy because their militant leaders are fed and in the SE, since Obi and Ihejiroka are fed and happy, the entire region is happy!

He open himself up to this Assault.
Just like when OBJ unleashed his goons against tinubu in Lagos thereby raising tinibu's profile.
But obj was smart .he beat a retreat at the right time before things got out of hand.
This Jonathan on the other hand , went after amaechi based on his percieved influence thereby opening up is base to attack .the fight is now at this very door step.
Do not be surprised if amaechi is made a presidential candidate in 2015 in order to ease GEJ out.

No Group, whether Splinter or otherwise can stop GEJ, only the voters can.

[size=14pt]More propaganda! Keep it coming.

The good news is that you lot are expending your fire power all too early. hahahahahahaha[/size]

You are so on point, I'm an Urhobo Man from Delta state & we have had enough of jonathan & his thugs.

The chicken is fast coming home to roost.


Like they say, you reap what you sow..

Many people in Enugu state here care less about him...GEJ should just come down and hear from the masses. Let him stop getting deceived by these self acclaimed leaders

Well said....

GEJ taught people this method of splintering via NGF. This is just Karma. These guys have now taken the education to a new level

The trainee president is getting served withhis own divisionary strategy. Grab my pop corn and watching as the nest of killers disintegrate faster than a pack of card.

hmmmmm. You have a point.

It is much more dignified for GEJ to step aside than to be disgrace at the polls comes 2015.
