Bayelsa APC Members In Yenagoa LGA Defect To PDP.

Ahead of November 11 Governorship election, more members of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yenagoa Local Government Area have dumped the party to join the ruling PDP in the State.

The APC Yenagoa Ward 5 Chairman, Mr. ThankGod Egba, two other APC leaders, Mr. Kalizibe Joseph from Ovom and Mr. Moso Duenize, former Secretary, David Lyon Youth Vanguard from Yenagoa community, were led to meet with Governor Douye Diri this afternoon by the member representing Yenagoa/Kolokuma/Opokuma Federal Constituency, Hon. Oforji Oboku.

The defectors said they were moved by the great achievements of the Prosperity Administration including massive construction projects with Yenagoa LGA.

Mr. Egba, Mr. Joseph and Mr. Duenize, who said they were happy to join the winning team expressed the confident that Senator Douye Diri and Deputy Governor, Sen. Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, would be re-elected.

“All they tell us in APC is that, they will write the result and we keep wondering how Sylva can win the election against a formidable PDP that is on ground. We are here to work with you sir. We will campaign from polling unit to polling unit”, Duenize, stated.

Governor Diri appreciated the new defectors for their positive assessment of his administration particularly on all the projects located in Epie/Attisa Kingdoms.
