Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State have urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to exercise caution in any potential alliance with Governor Douye Diri.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Chief Samuel Yousuo, and Secretary, Elder Ebigoni Gabriel, the stakeholders expressed concerns about the implications of such an alliance. The statement was addressed directly to President Tinubu.

According to the statement made available to the media in Asaba, the Delta state capital, the APC stakeholders described Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa state as a “serial betrayer”. They noted that “Bayelsa APC cannot afford his politics of betrayal, divisiveness and greed.”

TheNGblog understands that the Bayelsa APC Stakeholders Forum meeting was held on Tuesday, April 30, in Asaba.

As reported by The Punch on Friday, May 3, the forum claimed that there was an unholy alliance between Diri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the president’s aides.

The aggrieved chieftains also warned that Diri was a baggage and he has no electoral value, SaharaReporters confirmed.

The statement reads in part:

“We are using this medium to let you know that Diri can’t keep faith with anyone.

“Diri has abandoned all PDP leaders in the state. We are writing to let you know that he has no electoral value, so his coming to APC will be a big baggage for us. Diri is doing all he can to curry your favour, as he is afraid of being removed by the tribunal.” CONTINUE READING
