Alamieyeseigha denies Plans to Move to APC
Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, has denied rumoured plans to contest the gubernatorial position in the State under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Alamieyeseigha released a statement to journalists in Abuja on Friday, urging his supporters to disregard the reports. He said he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and has no intention to leave the party.
He also stated his support for Governor Seriake Dickson’s administration, calling for people of the state to support the governor’s second term bid.
He said, “Having served my people as governor about 10 years ago, I don’t have any intention to go back to Government House. After all I did not forget anything in Government House and nobody should draw me into such games,” he said.
Mr. Alamieyeseigha also called on Bayelsans and the entire Ijaw nation to close ranks, as this is not a time for the people to be divided for whatever reason “but to “work in one accord to reposition ourselves for greater political relevance”.
