Niger Delta leaders has warned former factional chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Richard Kpodo against
provocative statements, reminding the people to be careful of those
working for the interest of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The leaders also accused Kpodo and his associates of hatching evil
motives aimed at dividing APC, destroying the solidarity and possibly
provoking crises in the party.
In a statement issued on Sunday August 23, 2015 by the Director of
Communications of the Niger Delta People’s Movement, Mrs. Ibifuro
Thompson Tatua, the leaders described as irresponsible the campaign of
calumny by Kpodo.
The leaders who praised Chief John Odigie Oyegun for his honesty and
bravery in the management of the party as well as his inclusive
strategy, advised the national chairman of the party and former
governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva to look away from Kpodo
and his friends and get on with important matters.
“In any system, there are always destroyers. Oyegun and Sylva should
look away from these destroyers. Kpodo and his co – travelers are just
executing a carefully designed plan to discredit Sylva and destabilize
the party to further their selfish ends” the leaders said.
On calls to oppose the leadership of Sylva in the state, the leaders
not only described Kpodo’s views as a display of outright malice and
envy against Sylva but said Kpodo and his associates do not mean well
for the party and the state.
“This is callous. This is certainly a provocative act. Bayelsans must
condemn the evil machinations of Kpodo, his highly contagious
anointing to lie and the satanic grace to mislead the people”.
The leaders also thanked the people for the confidence reposed on Sylva.
“We thank the good and peace loving people of Bayelsa State who have
refused to be hoodwinked by the tissues of lies and propaganda being
woven and dished out by desperate politicians and their sponsors” the
statement said.
“Bayelsans are sick and tired of leaders whose only interest in
politics is their pockets and that of their crooked and fraudulent
clique at the expense of the masses” the statement added
