Some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in
Bayelsa State on Friday defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Those who decamped are a two-time member of House of
Representatives, Chief Warman Ogoriba, some former aides and commissioners
under Governor Seriake Dickson administration.
They include Charles Opuola, Nelson Belief, Sylvanus Abila,
Ayiba Nelson, Adolphus Ofongo, Lucky Yeboah, Romeo Ebizimor, Williams Ofoni,
John Ebikake and Moses Tariebe, among others.
Prominent APC chieftains, who received the defectors at the
party’s secretariat in Yenagoa include former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief
Timipre Sylva, former acting governors Nestor Binabo and Werinipre Seibarugu.
Other are Ambassador Felix Oboro, state Chairman of APC,
Tiwei Orunimighe; his deputy, Eddy Julius; Secretary, Marlin Daniel and
Publicity Secretary, Panebi Fortune, among others.
Speaking, Sylva said APC would, on February 14, 2016, occupy
the state Government House, Yenagoa, as the ruling party.
To the new members, he said: “The party is a sweet family.
The message is that all of us should come together and form one big family. The
dirt on Yenagoa and Bayelsa will be swept off by the APC and thrown into
Opuabadi (sea).

“As for the PDP, do not make any mistake. The PDP government
in Bayelsa State is dead. Its funeral is being postponed. We will bury it
soon”.
