Warri____ An Ijaw social political cultural intetest group under the aegis of Concerned Citizens for Izon-ebe Development (CCFID), has charged the general public to disregard a purported story published by Urhobotoday.Com online dated 13th February, 2020 with the caption, ' Delta 2023: E.K. Clark Rallies Support For Ijaw Governor ', stressing that the said story is a big fallacy emanated from the pit of hell.

The group in a press statement signed by its National Spokesman, Comrade Preye Ekpegha stated that the foremost ljaw leader Papa Clark agitation for lzon governor comes 2023 is a welcomed development but there was no day the elder statesman held meeting with ljaw guber Aspirants in Lagos and openly throws weight behind  Sen. James Manager. Although, papa Clark have the constitutional rights to support anybody but to put the records straight, the elder statesman is not in the country over the past two weeks.

The purported story is fake news from Urhobotoday.Com and a mere political propaganda to cause acrimony among the ljaws a head 2023. When the right time comes, ljaws in Delta State will call for a meeting to decide on who to support for Governor. The general public should disregard the fake story.

However, Comrade Preye reiterated that it is ljaw turn to produce the next governor of Delta State, and that it is left for the ljaws to unanimously decide on who to be nominated for the guber race in 2023. He further warn those online story publishers to always confirm the source of their stories before publishing, stressing that President Buhari led administration is after those peddling fake news, don't fall a victim, Comr.

Bayelsa: APC Chieftain, Chief. Perekeme Kpodoh Accuses Sylva, Oshiomhole Of Been Responsible for David Lyon, APC’s Woes At Supreme Court

Francis Tayor

Yenagoa____ A former Chief Security Adviser to the Bayelsa State Government, Chief Perekeme Kpodoh, has blamed the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva for Thursday’s Supreme Court Judgement which nullified the party’s victory.

The Supreme Court had on Thursday nullified the election victory of Chief David Lyon as governor-elect of Bayelsa State and his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo over certificate forgery leveled against the APC running mate.

Kpodoh, reacting to the apex court verdict, said the duo of Oshiomhole and Sylva to take the blame for the latest development in the state.

According to him, the two party chieftains’ manner of selection of APC flag bearers was the reason the party lost at the Supreme Court.
Chief Kpodoh told newsmen in Yenagoa that the divide and rule and wrongful actions of Sylva and Oshiomhole is costing the state chapter of the Party victory handed to the APC by the majority of Bayelsa voters.

“Because he has deceived everybody within the party, both in the state and national level, the verdict from the Supreme Court has brought the party and President Muhammadu Buhari to disrepute.

 “In the last few years, Chief Timipre Sylva has created enmity among the party structure. All the people that started these party race, all of them have been sidelined. He brought new people, he brought a man with fake certificate and you call yourself a leader of the party.

“He has even put the president into serious disgrace including the party. Even without this thing even happening, the type of people he was selecting to become appointees in the government, were all stooges. See what happened between him and Lokpobiri? Why must he raise Lokpobiri so high and serious that he doesn’t want to see Lokpobiri.

“If it was Lokpobiri, this matter wouldn’t have come into this matter. We said it during that period, but nobody listened to those who fought for the stability of the party. I am the man who fought for the APC in the state. I fought for this party, starting from new PDP to APC and at the latter part of the day, he abandoned us”, the former security adviser noted. Kpodoh, however, called on protesting APC members in the state to remain calm.
