Bayelsa 2023: PDP Plotting To Tarnish Sylva’s Image, APC Alleges

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Bayelsa State Chapter has alleged  that it has uncovered a plot by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) in the state to launch a campaign of calumny against the party and its candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva in the build-up to the November 11 governorship election.

The chairman of the party in the state, Dr Dennis Otiotio in a statement titled ‘APC Bayelsa State unravels Campaign of Calumny by Governor Diri Administration Against the Party and Its Governorship Candidate’ said the plans involved using some disgruntled politicians for imminent campaign of calumny against the APC and its governorship candidate in Bayelsa State.

According to him as part of the plan , the PDP has recruited hirelings and mercenaries to appear on major media outlets to masquerade and speak as APC chieftains in an infernal bid to discredit the party and its governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva.

He said: “It is sad that Governor Douye Diri who never won the 2019 elections has decided to invest in pettiness, anxieties, frivolities and has cowed to its basic instincts in the face of credible alternative in a desperate attempt to deceive the good people of Bayelsa State

“The general public is advised to take note and discountenance media outings from pseudo, fake and emergency figures springing out of nowhere to assume the status of APC chieftains or members.”
