The All Progressives Congress (APC) seemed to be coasting closer to victory in the forthcoming Bayelsa State governorship election as one of its chieftains and governorship aspirants charged his supporters to vote for the party.
Former Minister of State of Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, who spoke to journalists after a closed-door meeting with the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, in Abuja on Thursday, however said he is still in court with the party over the dispute generated from the governorship primary of the party.
Senator Lokpobiri, who spoke with the party’s National Chairman, along with some state governors on the platform of the party, said he will not leave the APC for any reason, adding that having served as a minister on the platform of the party, nothing would make him jump ship.
“The reason why I’m here is to pay a courtesy call on National Chairman having been spoken on the party which I have a great respect for and the president. I’m a very strong member of APC and I came today to formally tell our Chairman and to speak to Nigerians, in particular, the electorate in Bayelsa that all of them should vote for APC, regardless of what will happen in the matter that is fixed for judgment on Nov. 14, 2019.

“I told my supporters, even before I came for this visit, that no matter what happens, I will remain in APC, having served as minister under this administration. There is no way because of the outcome of the governorship primary that will make me to leave APC.
“We are working and campaigning at different levels. I always advise that anybody that has grievances the only place to go and resolve those grievances is the court. So, whatever that is happening in the matter that is pending in the court is not an infraction on any part of our party’s constitution,” he said.
Jigawa Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Badaru, said the APC had overwhelmed the entire Bayelsa State with its governorship campaign, saying that his party would win in Bayelsa State.
“Well, you have witnessed the campaign going on both PDP and APC in Bayelsa. I believe by now judge by yourselves that APC is doing wonderfully well in Bayelsa. You are all witnesses to all the rallies that have been happening for both the two parties. I believe that success is ours,” he said.

If bayelsa people like they sud vote pdp that hasn't favour them and keep blaming yoruba or Buhari

Suffer and hunger sweet them too.

He should also be in control of their lives and tells them how to run their families.

Illiteracy is truly a disease.


In this century, full grown adults can't make decisions for themselves.

I'm number one online critic of the APC and am not hiding it my friend. Anything called APC sinks. Is it today you've been cornering me? lol. It got to a stage I had to mark your moniker because you always follow me like mtn...everywhere I go.

Really??

PDP will definitely lose Beyealsa... The body language is so evident unless the people want to continue suffering.

. Did lokpobiiri leave PDP today?, I Know what he did to install Timipre, do you think he had weight, you are attacking this guy because he is saying the truth, you APC supporters are very agressive when you are exposed to facts.

Criticising apc is not a problem but peddling falsehood is.apc stinks but your pdp smells nice abi? Prepare for more wailing as apc will thrash your pdp in bayelsa,am sure you dont even know where bayelsa is.more wailings for you.buhari getting 25% in bayelsa must have been pepperish for you

. So APC Will not bring hardship to them? This is the same thing they told us about APC and buhari in 2015, were are we today, Hippocrates, we have seen how developed Nigeria is since APC took over government since 2015, I thank God that Buhari and APC won if not the Zone Bs would have been telling us how buhari would have finished painting Nigeria and even sky by now

Actually,i love facts and it humbles me and i detest falsehood and it brings aggression and that guy is known for falsehood.bayelsans detest apc yet apc won a seats seat in bayelsa and buhari got 25% there? Even i never believed that buhari could get anything close to 10,000 votes tallest of getting anything there.but the results of the election shocked us all.it showed that the people of south south do not hate apc,they are beginjing to accept apc though they love pdp more.
Its no secret that lyon is far more popular than diri and will dust diri easily.even the pdp state chairman amos recently said that lyon's popularity alone wont make him win.i have people in bayelsa and there not saying anything good about pdp,even most of those based there and on nairaland are gunning for apc.therefore,the guy lied and my reaction was justified.

Concerning lokpobiri,his relevance is dwindling but its still there.he is more relevant mostly in his ekeremor lga.one of the calcculations of pdp is that he will work against apc which has obviously failed.as it stands,pdp's only hope of victory depends on yenagoa,ogbia and nembe

Well,this is state level analysis.forget buhari.it is strictly about dickson's antecedents and that of lyon.dickson performed woefully as a governor,diri worse more as a senator but lyon as a private citizen has touched the lives of bayelsans hence his statewide popularity.based on this antecedent,lyon is less likely to bring hardship.

Don't mind the guy. That's their style and they take after their boss...running mouth with the use of aggressive and abusive words. My responses to him as you can see, is a clear difference between us in terms of maturity and morals.

60 per cent of the apc members today used to be in the pdp yet same people would be condemning the pdp which they jointly destroyed before running to hide in the APC . At times when Garba Shehu talks on channels, I laugh. This was the man dealt with by obj during Atiku's ordeal. He has suddenly become a saint under the APC. I don't even want to talk of elrufai who almost mortgaged Abuja's fed property and lands to himself as the FCT minister. During the time he was BPE chairman, he sold all the government assets to his goons all in the name of privatisation, the idea which obj wasn't happy about. What of akpabio and the former abia state gov kalu who is now in the senate? APC is such a shameless party. They claim pdp is corrupt no wahala. By the time they leave office in 2023( because I'm very sure Buhari would he their first and last president), we shall see how saintly they are . Imagine what the zamfara and bauchi state governors stole in just 4 years as APC govs. Had the pdp not won in those states, they'd have still been claiming saints by now . Jonathan messed up, agreed. Had the party produced a disciplined leader in 2011, the party wouldn't have lost elections in 2015 because its the only national party where everybody is equally treated regardless of ethnic and religious affiliation.

Indeed. We have been working in fmc yenagoa for 2 years now and we hear and see what's on ground and what the civil servants have been saying. I'm Mr Nigeria because I go everywhere to do business including fmc katsina, in Buhari state. The apc guy has only been nurturing his ambition by doing all those projects, from day one. If he gets there, he would first recover all his money and leave the state broke. This wasn't my view but the view of Bayelsas

presidential election is different from states' elections. Even jonathan got more than 25% in the then opposition strongholds but when it came to governorship elections, they voted their own candidates . Your co-supporters said delta would vote the apc.. blablabla. Okowa still won inspite of ibori and his boy uduaghan supoirt for the apc candidate.

You have always been saying I spread falsehood but I replied last night with facts about some of the things I said in the past even quoting the newspapers that captured them. Grow up.

You are the one that needz growing up son before you are left behind in the hatred for apc.which baseless facts? All facts points to apc winning bayelsa.getting it wrong in delta is normal afterall your colleagues predicted wrongly in ekiti.getting 25% in bayelsa is not normal.states where's gej got 25% in the north are where pdp has always done well and cant be compared to bayelsa.in 2015,with no base sylva lost narrowly inspite of all his weaknesses to an incumbent.imagine what will happen to a failed diri.better go down to bayelsa and know the true state of things and stop the needless propaganda.the upcoming social media bill might catch up with your likes
