Make Bayelsa Great
(MBG), a political group on Friday said that Chief. Ndutimi Alaibe, owes nobody
apologies for switching political parties in quest to his governorship
ambitions.
Alaibe, a founding member of Peoles Democratic
Party (PDP) decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 and back to
the PDP in 2019.
A rival group, Bayelsa
PDP Restoration Foot-Soldiers, had on Monday demanded for an unreserved apology
from Alaibe, claiming that he lacked the moral right to vie for the PDP’s
ticket .
The group said that
their position was premised on the fact that Alaibe had serially betrayed the
party particularly at its trying times.
The MBG while reacting
to the call by Restoration Foot Soldiers, said their investigation revealed the
group is faceless and that the call was by detractors out to fan the embers of
discord between the Gov Seriake Dickson and Alaibe.
The Coordinator of the
group, Mr. Bodise Wilson, in a statement
issued in Yenagoa, stressed that there was no dispute between Dickson and
Alaibe, and that there was no need for anybody to demand for apology from Alaibe.
"The sponsors of the fake group
'Restoration Foot-Soldiers' only in their mischief want the world to believe
that the Governor is behind their activities, but we know the Governor is not
anyway connected to the group.
"For the benefit
of the public, there is need to set the records straight, so that gullible
minds will not be tempted to take the fallacies of this group hook line and
sinker.
"We wish to make
it clear that the sponsors of this group who are political jobbers whose stock
in trade is to create confusion for their selfish aggrandizements, these evil
machinations will not see the light of the day.
"This fake group
of fraudsters use the phrase PDP 'Restoration Foot-Soldiers', to make believe
that they are working for Gov Seriake Dickson, while they are not, but out to
fan the embers of discord between the Governor and Alaibe.
"There is no
dispute between Gov Seriake Dickson and Chief Ndutimi Alaibe.
“The sponsors of the
fake group 'Restoration foot-soldiers' only in their mischief want the world to
believe that the Governor is behind their activities, but we know the Governor
is not anyway connected to the group.
"Our checks
showed that the fake group 'Restoration Foot-Solders', is not known anywhere
prior before this time and the person who signed the press statement used a
fictitious name.
“This the trade mark
political jobbers to create the impression that the group is in existence for
their pecuniary benefit.
"It is worthy of
note here that Chief. Alaibe as a disciplined party man consulted widely with
party stakeholders before returning back to the party amidst celebrations in
Yenagoa.
“At the event Chief
Ndutimi Alaibe said that 'all the positions I held in Nigeria today was made
possible by the PDP, so I am happy to be back home'.
"At different
fora, Chief Ndutimi Aliabe has taken time to explain reasons for withdrawing
from the Governorship contests and has consistently emphasized that the blood
of the people is not worth his ambition.
“He doesn’t want to
create widows and orphans because he wants to be Governor of Bayelsa State,”
MBG stated.
.
MBG urged its rivals
to work towards the victory of their preferred aspirantss at the September 3
primary election of the party, rather than casting aspersions and vilifying an
aspirant who is going about his consultations with stakeholders.
