No Comments

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
