attack on Wednesday, August 5, for calling All Progressives Congress a
Northern and Western party.
Alamieyesigha had reportedly said this in different fora that, Peoples
Democratic Party belong to the Ijaws noting that allowing the APC win
the December 5, governorship election would amount to conquering the
Ijaw nation.
Reacting to the ex-governor's assertion, an APC chieftain, Preye
Aganaba, told Bayelsa to disregard Alamieyeseigha statement, stressing
that his party is a 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 polls said the likes of Alamieyeseigha is no longer
in reckoning in the state.
He urged the people of the state to support his party's 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 beyond repair 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."
