The APCPMGLG pointed out that the oil minister had not attended any stakeholders’ meeting in the state, nor had he attended any of APC campaigns even when the campaign train went to Ekeremor, his local government. “The alleged anti-party activities of Senator Heineken Lokpobiri are traced back to 2019 when he wanted the ticket to run for the governorship of Bayelsa State but couldn’t as it was given to Chief David Lyon. Since then, Lokpobiri has been fighting the party with so many litigations.
