BAYELSA GUBER: 24 Hrs After Losing Primary Election, PDP Aspirant Dumps Party For APC

Barely 24 hours after the governorship primary election in the Bayelsa state, an aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Bayelsa 2019 governorship election, Great Joshua Maclver, has dumped his party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This comes barely 24 hours after the PDP primaries, in which Mr Maclver lost to Senator Douye Diri, who emerged as the flag bearer of the party in the November 16 gubernatorial election.

According to him, he is to join hands and form “great” alliance with Chief David Lyon, candidate of the APC in the Nov. 16 gubernatorial election, to “flush” the PDP out of Bayelsa.

In a letter obtained by our correspondence and addressed to the ward chairman, Olodiama Ward 4, Yenogoa, the governorship aspirant described the reason for his decision as “strictly personal.”
