Tension has gripped the oil-rich Bayelsa State following the governorship primaries of the ruling party in the state, the Peoples Democratic Party scheduled for Tuesday in Yenagoa, the state capital.
It was endorsement galore as the stakeholders from the eight local government areas met at different halls and hotels in the capital city to endorse the senator and direct delegates loyal to the caucus to vote for him. “He has worked at different capacities. The restoration government has laid a solid foundation and other eminently qualified aspirants, we believe that Senator Douye Diri is a man that can consolidate on the gains of restoration.
But other aspirants such as former Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Commission, Chief Timi Alaibe and Keniebi Okoko and Ayawei, were said to be upbeat with a plot to cause upset at the primaries. Alaibe said: “We will face the primaries and we will go full blast. By the grace of God we are going to win. The delegate elections are past and I don’t want to comment on them. We have passed that stage.
“He is the leader of the party. And I think he is supporting Ayawei. He knows Ayawei is forthright. Ayawei is young and dynamic”. “I am very prepared for the primaries. Party primaries are not general elections and I hope the delegates see the good part of me. I have spoken with all of them and they appreciate my vision.
