PDP Accuses Bayelsa Governor Diri of Backing Makinde
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State have engaged in a war of words over allegations concerning Governor Duoye Diri. The PDP, led by Chairman George Turnah, accused Diri of supporting the presidential ambition of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who is the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), instead of supporting the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu.
In response, APC Chairman Hon Warman Weri Ogoriba dismissed the claims as false. However, PDP Publicity Secretary Ikaebimo Mark reinforced the allegations, stating that Diri's administration is paying monthly stipends to numerous former PDP officials, from ward to state levels, who are affiliated with the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki group.
Mark asserted that these individuals are openly allied with the APM and are actively mobilizing support for Makinde's presidential campaign.
