Bayelsa Politician Fyneman Wilson Joins APC from NDC
Chief Fyneman Wilson, a former legislator in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, announced his defection from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday. Wilson criticized the NDC for lacking internal democracy, particularly regarding the handling of primary election results, which he claimed favored rivals.
He expressed his displeasure over the party's treatment of his son, Felix Wilson, who was not declared the winner of the primary election despite winning. Wilson tendered his resignation from the NDC last Friday and pledged to work diligently for the success of the APC in the upcoming elections.
The Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Dr. Peter Akp, welcomed Wilson to the APC, describing him as an "encyclopedia" of political experience that would be valuable for the party's prospects in the 2027 elections. Other party leaders also expressed their support for Wilson's move to the APC.
