Bayelsa: PDP Warns Oshiomole Over Unguarded Utterances

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole to be mindful of his utterances following his comments on the Supreme Court verdict on the Bayelsa State governorship election.

The Supreme Court had on Thursday nullified the election victory of Lyon following the November 12, 2019 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which had disqualified APC’s deputy governorship candidate, Degi-Eremienyo in the election for submitting forged certificates to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Reacting to the verdict at the party’s secretariat in Abuja, Oshiomole said that only the APC candidate met the “desired spread as expressed by the Supreme Court, saying nobody would be sworn in as governor.

In a statement on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party described Oshiomhole as ‘factional national chairman’ who has ‘no stake whatsoever in the wellbeing of his own home state’.

“The party warned Oshiomhole, to steer clear of Bayelsa State as his apparent plots to trigger violence in the state has failed.

“The PDP further counselled Oshiomhole to be careful with his utterances and not use any forms of venomous garrulity and clear misuse of language to destabilise our nation and truncate our hard-earned democracy,” the statement said.
