The Bayelsa State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has debunked rumours of any faction within the party and urged the general public to ignore such reports.
Spokesman of the party, Ebiye Ogoli, was reacting to recent report that Governor Douye Diri had sacked some political aides who attended a rally organised in support of the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
But Ogoli clarified that Wright Group was not a factional PDP in the state, but Wike’s supporters.
He averred that Bayelsa state PDP has no faction, saying that all the state excos take directives from Governor Douye Diri, who is the leader of the party in the state.
He said,” Frankly, in Bayelsa State, I want to put the records straight that PDP has only one State Exco Committee ( SEC ), and one single State Working Committee( SWC )”
“We have 14 Committee working members at the state level. We equally have 25 assistant working committee members, 8 local government Chairmen and 17 of their members spread across the 8 local government areas. So we have about 100 of them”
“At the ward level, we have about 105 wards, and each of them is made up of 17 members.
