There are indications that a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party , some influential members and their supporters have perfected plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress in Southern Ijaw Council of Bayelsa State.
It was learnt that Southern Ijaw Council commands the largest number votes in the state, but most party faithful and kinsmen of former Chairman of PDP, Moses Cleopas, had allegedly expressed their displeasure with him. A source claimed that Sele-Epri Matthew, who was a member of PDP Presidential Campaign in 2019, was also planning to dump the PDP. He alleged that Matthew, who is also PDP Ward Leader in Koluama 1 community, Southern Ijaw Ward 17, might have perfected plans to defect to the opposition party with his supporters.
Cleopas was said to have supported Amadein, who lost the elections, but a source said Cleopas allegedly used security apparatus against Matthew in a bid to install Amadein and lobby oil companies to fund his governorship ambition.“The people of Koluama 1 are complaining of marginalisation. They are saying that Cleopas and Ayawei from Koluama 2 hijacked the political and economic benefits accruing to the ward, leaving their Koluama 1 kinsmen in political wilderness.
