The Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has accused the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, and the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, of instigating
violence in his state.
Diri made the accusation on Thursday after his visit to some public and private property to see the level of damage allegedly done by the supporters of the APC during the violent protest in the state capital. Among the property visited by the governor were the private residence of former Governor Seriake Dickson, the Prof Steve Azaiki Public Library, Radio Bayelsa and the houses of some PDP stalwarts.
The governor said, “The APC National Chairman challenged the ruling of the Supreme Court and declared that there would be no governor in Bayelsa State. And that ignited the protest back home here.
