The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bayelsa State has alerted Bayelsans to disregard any alleged media outing by whom it called fake APC chieftains that will smear the image of the party and that of the governorship candidate of the party for November 11 gubernatorial election Timipre Sylva.
In a statement on Sunday by the chairman of of the party in the state Dennis Otiotio- Odoni and made available to newsmen, he said that the Douye Diri led Government had allegedly orchestrated plans to smear the image of the party and Timipre Sylva.
The statement reads “Bayelsa APC alerts the general public, especially Bayelsans, that the Governor Douye Diri led administration has perfected plans to use some disgruntled politicians on an imminent campaign of calumny against the APC and its Governorship candidate in Bayelsa State.
“The general public is advised to take note and discountenance media outings from pseudo, fake and emergency figures springing out of nowhere to assume the status of APC chieftains or members.
“The sordid plan is to install hirelings and mercenaries on major media outlets to masquerade and speak as APC chieftains in an infernal bid to discredit the party and it’s governorship candidate Chief Timipre Sylva.
“It is sad that Governor Douye Diri who never won the 2019 elections has decided to invest in pettiness, anxieties, frivolities and has cowed to it’s basic instincts in the face of credible alternative in a desperate attempt to deceive the good people of Bayelsa State.”
When Daniel Alabrah the chief press secretary to governor Douye Diri was contacted for reaction he referred this reporter to the publicity secretary of people’s democratic party Ebiye Ogoli but all the calls put across to him could not be responded to as at the time of filling in this report.
