The peace committee of the Peoples Democratic Party says there was no time Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State and former Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha also of Bayelsa State were sent out the peace meeting as reported by some media
CONTRARY to some media reports, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State and former Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha also of Bayelsa State were not sent out of the peace meeting initiated by the national secretariat of the party at the weekend in Otuoke, Bayelsa State.
Cairo Ojougboh, secretary of the PDP peace committee, in a statement asked the party and general public to disregard the report, alleging that the report which was masterminded by the All Progressives Congress, APC, aimed causing disunity between the leaders and members of the PDP in the state.
According to Ojougboh, the Committee had earlier met with the governor, the state executive council and former President Goodluck Jonathan, before the meeting it had with other aggrieved members of the party.
He alleged that the outcome of the peace meeting did not go down well with the APC members and therefore, went to town with tales of woes.
Ojougboh’s statement read in part: “I, on the instruction of the Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Haliru Mohammed Bello, the Chairman Board of Trustees and myself, the National Vice Chairman of the PDP, hereby affirm that, at no time were these two great party men asked out of the meeting… The committee had a very good outing, which resulted in the recall of the suspended and expelled party members. The recalled members were pleased to return to the party.
“The Party wishes to state that, this misinformation is the handiwork of the APC, as they fear for the outcome of the reconciliation in the party.”
