Suspected hired thugs on Friday attacked a former Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Boyelayefa Debekeme, and Special Adviser to the
Governor on Labour and Productivity, Hon. Famous Daunimughan, over the decision to attend a political stakeholders’ meeting to discuss the zoning arrangement for Bayelsa West Senatorial District.

According to the political leaders from Ekeremor local government, which is made of PDP members including the member of the Federal House of Representative representing Ekeremor/Sagbama Federal constituency, Hon. Fred Agbedi, a one-time Commissioner of Special Duties and Legal Practitioner, Barr.
They added that, “Those interested in contesting for any of the National Assembly seats should confine themselves to complying with the existing zoning arrangement. That is, the House of Representatives for Sagbama and the Senate seat for Ekeremor Local Government Areas.
