APC Planning to Deploy ‘Federal Might', Alleges Diri, PDP Guber Candidate
Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the November 16 election in Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, has raised the alarm over an alleged plan by the opposition All Progressives Congress to deploy what he termed ‘federal might’ to intimidate members of his party in the build-up to the poll.
“For those who want to kill our people and intimidate them because of this election, we will resist you. The APC is not ready to contest this November 16 governorship election, they want to use federal might to intimidate our members and the people of this state. Let me tell them now that Bayelsa is PDP, and PDP is Bayelsa. We will resist them.
“I am sure you don’t want to go back to Famtagbe , the era where our youths were killed every day. Governor Dickson has laid the foundation for prosperity. My job is to bring prosperity and succour to our youths and women. State Chairman of the PDP, Mr. Cleopas Moses expressed gratitude to party faithful who defied the downpour to attend the event, saying those who are still in doubt over the general acceptance of the candidacy of Senator Diri would be convinced by the large number of supporters.
