”We don’t need your suddenly patronizing statements, keep it to yourself” – Bayelsa APC blasts Douye Diri

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bayelsa state, has asked Gov. Douye Diri, to keep to himself his “obviously pretentious showers of praises” he is giving to the APC in recent times.

The APC addressed the governor on Monday in Yenagoa, through a statement signed by, its Assistant Publicity Secretary, Bayelsa State, Hon. Tamaratare Otis Zuokumor.

While forbidding Gov. Douye Diri from making further patronizing statements to the APC, the leadership of the party said, governor Diri should reserve his pretentious accolades and show Bayelsans his score card in the past four years.

“The party is aware Gov. Diri is merely trying to make it seem our leader and Governorship candidate His Excellency Chief Timipre Sylva is the collective enemy of both the APC and PDP. This is lying at psychopathic levels.

“Sylva is the Governorship candidate of APC and not APGA, so a sane person cannot say he is fighting Sylva and not APC. When Sylva triumphs at the polls, as he will, it is the APC that ascends to power, not any other party.

“We wish to state categorically that our party Is more united and stronger than it has ever been, stronger and more united even than in 2019 when we trounced Gov. Diri at the polls.

“Our impressive support base, our party leadership and our able stakeholders are fully committed to the Timipre Sylva/Joshua Maciver ticket and all hands are on deck to liberate Bayelsa state, including thousands PDP members with good conscience who have chosen state over politics.

“We reject and forbid Gov. Douye Diri from making further patronizing statements to the APC. One cannot dislike you and love your child. It is a futile, manipulative attempt at a Trojan horse. 

“Diri should reserve his false patronage and rather tell Bayelsans why he deserves a second tenure after a horrendous four years. The APC will win this election in a landslide, including Gov. Diri’s own LGA, Kolokuma-Opokuma, where he has been loudly rejected by his own people and where crushing defeat for him is now sure.

“The face of Bayelsa state will be restored and our great party the APC, loved by the good people of our state and deemed a credible alternative, will coast to victory come November 11,” the statement read.
