Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, former Bayelsa state governor, has come under attack on Wednesday August 5 for calling All Progressives Congress as a northern and western party.
Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha
Alamieyesigha had reported said in different fora that Peoples Democratic Party belong to the Ijaw saying that allowing the APC to win the December 5 governorship election in the party would amount to conquering the Ijaw nation.
Reacting to ex-governor assertion, a APC chieftain Preye Aganaba asked Bayelsa to disregard Alamieyeseigha statement stressing that his party is national party.
Aganaba said: “The APC is a national party that cuts across all geopolitical zones. The party has been widely received and Bayelsans have demonstrated their readiness to embrace the change mantra.”
According to The Nation,the APC stalwart reminded the ex-governor that the people of the state will no longer identify with the failures of the past, reminding him that the language of change knows no barriers and tribes.
Aganaba who contested for the Bayelsa central senatorial election in the last general said that the likes of Alamieyeseigha is no longer in reckoning in the state.
He urged people of the state to support his party candidate who will soon emerged after primary election.
Aganaba wondered why it took the PDP such a long time to come up with the reconciliatory strategy when it is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that the umbrella is torn behind repairs in Bayelsa State.”
He said: “It is ironic that the party that failed to bring the warring factions together before the last National Assembly and House of Assembly elections could be doing so now that the majority of the party members have decided to join the moving train of the unstoppable APC in the state.
“Persons who have decided to move to APC should not be fooled by the antics of the PDP which is to use and dump them. They should actualise the dreams of identifying with the change revolution that is blowing across the country.”
