E don Happen..Defection has began.
Former chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), was among the many top shots of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State on Saturday.
Surprisingly, Col. Sam Inokoba (rtd), the Bayelsa State PDP chairman also joined APC.
Over 1000 members and supporters of the PDP publicly swore their allegiance to the APC at a ceremony held at the Samson Siasia Sports Complex in Yenegoa.
Speaking, Alaibe said the defectors had left the PDP for good.
His words: “This is common sense revolution. It is not change for the sake of it. We are changing from poverty to prosperity. We are changing from lies and deceit. We are changing from ‘Wayo’.
“A state as rich as Bayelsa cannot tolerate poverty. It is not our portion to be in poverty. How can one provide oil and gas and not benefit from it? Change has come to Bayelsa.”
Applauding their courage, APC national chairman, John Oyegun, who led members of the party’s national working committee, said: “This is the first time a party is totally decapitated. The chairman of the PDP who represents the head of the party has left and the PDP is now headless. Anybody that is headless cannot survive.
“We now have former deputy governors, former National Assembly members, former commissioners, former this and former that. Who is left in the PDP? Nobody. The people in Bayelsa is making history for the South-South zone.”
“We now have former deputy governors, former National Assembly members, former commissioners, former this and former that. Who is left in the PDP? Nobody. The people in Bayelsa is making history for the South-South zone.”
“The PDP members who have left to join us today have found a new home. There is no fear of use and dump”.
In his remark, former state governor, Timipre Sylva, said “The time for the unity and peace of Bayelsa had come. We need to foster peace in the party and the state because Bayelsa has seen enough division.
“There has been too many political killings under this administration. They have blood on their hands. The creeks of Bayelsa has become impassable. The government has completely failed”.
Other prominent defector were Senators John Brambraifa and Heineken Lokpobiri, former acting governors; Werinipre Sebarugu and Nestor Binabo; John Brambraifa, Andrew Oputa (Maj rtd), Christopher Milky, Alex Ekiotene, Christopher Enai, Stella Dorgu and Mathew Karimu.

Dailypost reportage.
Na them sabi. So what will happen if Apc leaves power? Defect as usual.
ReplyDeleteSaid it from time immemorial,asides buhari and to some extent fashola..the rest are thieves!!!
DeleteThis same group of thieves in pdp be defecting to apc already filled wv thieves. If they know what is good for them,they shouldn't entertain such.
Infact it should be made constitutional that once u defect from a party in which u have a political appointment,ur appointment or position should be stripped immediately.
Bt na naija we dey na,a country buried deep in cluelessness and corruption...Ka anyi ne ele anya
I thought APC said they would not be entertaining any more defects to their camp? Hmmm
DeleteAt the end of the day APC is made up of the same criminals who plundered our money. They should continue.
ReplyDeletePeople are not loyal ooo...
DeleteWith all the money they have, they cant even remain in the opposition and fight.
Well i see problems in the apc cos alaibe and sylva both want gov tickets and they bith have financial muscle.
Lets see if pdp will leave dickson and pick dudafa
Lol nothing 4 Pdp again,they are gradually loosing it.
ReplyDeleteHe he he, na survival of the fittest. Buhari should know that he also has to probe within his party too, if he wants positive results, ho ho ho.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha
ReplyDeleteOsetia............Osetigo!
No be small thing! But that state is highly under developed.
ReplyDeleteHungry people. APC is now a dumping ground for idle people. See Timi Alaibe's speech:' We are changing from poverty to prosperity..'Story! The socalled prosperity in APC is not enough for Tinubu and his cohorts not to talk of party prostitutes like Timi and co. Una never see anything. Timi Alaibe that us yet to account for all the money he squandered during his tenure as NDCC boss! Keep doing Ashawo from one party to another. EFCC will still fish you out!
ReplyDeleteBunch of thieves jumping from pillar to post. All these guys jumping ship did nothing when they had the power and resources to develop Bayelsa state. Timi Alaibe what did you do as NDDC chair? Timipre Sylvia what would posterity say of your tenure as Governor? You all should be ashamed of yourselves and of the rot and decay in Bayelsa state. Change my foot. Please don't forget that PMB will not tolerate any form of looting. Shameless people. Remain in your party and stop jumping ship. You are all birds of the same feathers and the worst thing that ever happened to NIgerian politics. Thieves!!
ReplyDeleteJust look at. Politics ehn, very dirty
ReplyDeleteThe wandering life of Nigerian politicians
ReplyDeleteLol. Just negodu...search for greener pastures
ReplyDeleteBunch of useless men!
ReplyDeleteAm sure they will defect back to PDP in 2019!
Shame! It's very obvious dat each and everyone of them aree there to loot more! For d money! Rubbish politics! Rubbish
ReplyDeleteMumu are you living in bayelsa or do you know what is happening there? The governor of bayelsa is the mad king.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the meaning of " just negodu" I'm a newbie
ReplyDeleteGreedy people.
ReplyDeleteA Season of political defection.
ReplyDeleteEverybody wan follow chop.
It's amazing that the same corrupt people (and they don't come any more corrupt than Alaibe) will just change political party and, abracadabra, they are now agents of change? Is this not personal desperation to be in national power positions? Is this not also desperation by APC to capture an oil producing state? Only God knows what dirty deals has been done by APC with these useless Bayelsa politicians? APC and Buhari's corruption efforts will be further hamstringed.
ReplyDeleteHaaaaaaa God!Over kini?This is serious for PDP oo.And Jonathan is from that state,well what will he do?When he was even the nation'n president gan,wetin him do?
ReplyDeleteIf this defection continues like this, then APC is sure to have upper hand in the 2019 general election.I think these defectors have said it all "Change from poverty to progress "Were they blinded folded before when they were voting for poverty and corruption that Jonathan represented?
Hypocrites them, APC should just be careful of these so called sudden and confused defectors,so that they won't sabotage the political manifesto of the party just like they did in their former party.
See who is talking about killings, when he's the number one killer alive! Are you not the one who has ordered your boys to make the creeks impassable? Bloody killer @Timipre Sylva. As for Timi Alaibe I have a lot to say about you but I'll leave it for some other time... all this greedy Bayelsan politicians that does not have the interest of the state at heart, all they are interested in is to be at the helm of affairs in "Creek heaven" (the Bayelsa state government house). As for the defection, it's a welcome development as it is going to serve as an eye opener for GEJ, how on earth will you tell party chieftains to work with Seriake Dickson when even a baby in her mother's womb knows he has failed in every area. The only sector he has a pass mark is the "looting sector". A governor that almost every indigene hates, is that the candidate PDP wants to make the flag bearer? They will so fail this time around. Bayelsans I wiser now!
ReplyDeleteThe only name I see is Heineken.
ReplyDeleteWhy are they defecting, they should use the money they stole to create another party.
ReplyDeleteTimi alaibe used to be my bf. The greatest paymaster of all time. Over generous. He used to give my lil sis $1000 for taxi . When he was working with societe generale.
ReplyDeleteErrrmm I thought Timi Alaibe is suppose to be Agbani Darego Husband , or is it another former NDDC chairman
ReplyDeleteTheir defection will only add more coin to tinubu's pocket.
ReplyDeleteOle la won politicians yi sha.
ReplyDeleteI will not be surprised. If Jonathan defects to apc
ReplyDeleteBeware if these defectors. Spies in disguise. Trouble makers on a mission.
