Ahead of the governorship election in Bayelsa State, no fewer than 1,000 members of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the state have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The defecting members, comprising 800 delegates at the APC governorship primary election held on August 22 and August 29 declared for the PDP at a ceremony which took place at Peace Park, Yenagoa, yesterday.
The defectors were led into the Peace Park venue by two prominent members of the APC, Senator John Brambaifa and Mr. Alex Ekiotenne.
They were received at the venue by Governor Seriake Dickson; Deputy National Chairman, PDP, South-South, Mr. Cairo Ojuigbo; Acting State Chairman, PDP, Mr. Serena Dokubo-Spiff; Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral John Jonah (retd.), among other PDP leaders.
Addressing the defectors, Dickson commended Brambaifa and Ekiotenne for returning to the PDP fold which they left about five months ago.
Dickson said, “We are happy that Brambaifa and Ekiotenne are back to the PDP. They have been prominent strategists for the PDP. Our government, Bayelsa PDP and Bayelsans are happy that we are now complete.
“While the storm lasted, I always remembered them for their patriotism towards Bayelsa and the Ijaw nation. With them, our restoration crusade is full and ready to sail. They led the foundation for the mass movements of some PDP members to the APC.
“Today, it is operation ‘Wind up APC in Bayelsa. This is just the beginning of winding up the APC in Bayelsa. We will continue to receive our brothers and sisters who were misled.”
The governor, who urged the crowd to observe a minute’s silence for the late former Governor of the state, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, said since Alamieyeseigha’s demise, was feeling a sense of emptiness.
He said: “But with these two persons, I am a bit consoled. If not for the way they harassed and killed Alamieyeseigha, he would have been here with us.”
In his remarks, Ekiotenne said with their return to the PDP, the APC in Bayelsa was buried.

Story.

PDP Lying like a fake pastor.

Nobody wants to be associated with the Nigeria Titanic(sinking ship)of Politics anymore, so what did they do?create a fictitious APC decampee story.

Who are these nameless people that decamped?where is the Video?if it were true i am sure we would have seen he Videos all over the internet, and that is why i call bull-shit on this story.

Again, somebody has made a couple of Millions(the PDP way)from the leadership of the BROKE PDP, deceiving them that they spent money, bringing in people from the APC into PDP.

The PDP scamming themselves, since Fatai Atere was made Captain of the Super Eaglets.

No Be 2000 Again

I can see that PDP is dying by the day. Once a popular Party has become a shadow of itself. The worst has not happened yet. Many may not believe what I have said unit Mettu will defect to APC.

All these kpomo men dem

Most politicians and their supporters in Nigeria are simply "anywhere belle face"

No permanent Enemy, no permanent friend, no permanent political party, no ideology and no principle.

This is the bane of Nigerian political progress

Dear dullard,
The opposite is the case here,
Please learn to read

APC should come out of their fools paradise, stopping wasting resources and stop causing trouble because they cant win Bayelsa.
Dat state is a PDP state.

All these people with 'bele' politics...?

Receive sense and read the News again

Bayelsa state can't afford four years of private jet cocain sniffing spree!

Out of how many? Cos I know it still has no effect on APC

Chai. Nigerian version of partisan politics has always been and will always be an auctioneers kind of politics. Highest bidder.
Reason: Poverty, uncertainties, victimization, bad Governance, nepotism, favouritism and many more.

You will still see them flooding back when dissatisfied with their current refuge

E don happen

I smell lies





Why round figure





Anyway na dem sabi




E no "consign" me

hmm see defection

Defecting today, defecting tomorrow but one thing is certain they are all the same

Nigerians has no political culture nor ideology it is all about "wetin dem wan chop"

Good news, south/south and east is PDP!

aguizm:
APC can never win any state in the South South and South East.
The better they get that into their lieing skull, the better for them.
The Hausa man in owerri got there with APGA mandate if not he wouldn't have smelled the fence of the govt house if he had contested against ohakim under APC.
But we are patiently waiting to kick his fat ass along with his devilish party out of the south east come 2019.
We are not slaves like the yorrobers of Southwest that accepts everything given to them by their blood sucking almajiri masters.
We are Biafrans.
The proud 5%.

Where is the sense in this post??

Common sense isn't common after all.

Good riddance to fair weather defectors and potential internal saboteurs.

Kudos to Bayelsa APC for weeding them out in timely fashion.

Negligible

Its not stopping Apc from gaining that small state.

APC can never win any state in the South South and South East.

The better they get that into their lieing skull, the better for them.
