APC SUSPENDS TINUBU’S MINISTER, OTHERS

APC SUSPENDS TINUBU’S MINISTER, OTHERS
The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Southern Ijaw and Ekeremor LGAs of Bayelsa state has suspended the current Minister of State, Petroleum resources (Oil), Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, the 2019 governorship candidate of the party, Chief David Lyon, and other party members for alleged anti-party activities.
The party leaderships of the two LGAs who read out the suspensions seperately on Friday said the decision came having considered the report of the disciplinary committee that was set up in accordance with Article 21.3 (i) of the party’s constitution, 2022, as amended.
Those suspended from the party in Southern Ijaw LGA alongside Chief David Lyon include Mr. Jothan Amos (Former State Chairman of the APC, Bayelsa State), Hon. Godbless Diriwari (Ex-Officio member, National Executive of the party), Hon. Omiebi Fuoebi (Party stakeholder), Sabi Morgan (LGA APC Youth Leader) and Barr. Peres Biewari (Current Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Bayelsa State).
Others are Mr. Timiondi Fabofieghe (APC Chairman, Ward 3, Southern Ijaw LGA), all the ward 3 Executive members of the party, Mr. Claudius Odobu (APC Chairman, ward 4, Southern Ijaw LGA) and all ward 4 Executive members of the party.
In Ekeremor LGA, those suspended along the Minister for State, Petroleum Resources (Oil), Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, include the current Commissioner for Power, Bayelsa State, Engr. Karin Kumoko and other loyalists to the Petroleum Minister.
Reading out the notice of suspension, the chairman of the APC, Southern Ijaw LGA, Mr. Ebikazi Gbefa, noted that the suspended stakeholders has played anti-party activities since 2020 till date.
“Recall that the said stakeholders and members of the party have been involved in anti-party activities since the Senatorial bye-election in 2020 when they conspired with the People’s Democratic Party candidate and worked against our party’s candidate then, Mr. Ebifemowei Abel. For the sake of a united party, their actions were overlooked and the party refrained from taking disciplinary actions against them.
“In the 2023 National Assembly elections, the same set of stakeholders and their supporters openly worked against our National Assembly candidates.
“In the 2023 gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State, all the aforementioned members openly worked for Gov. Douye Diri of the People’s Democratic Party and some of them were compensated with contracts and appointments. For example, Barr. Perepuighe Biewari who was Chief David Lyon’s Personal Assistant, was nominated by Chief David Lyon and appointed as the current Commissioner for Lands and Survey in the Gov. Douye Diri administration in Bayelsa State.
“As we strive to rebuild the party ahead of 2027, it is our resolve to strengthen the party and build confidence in party grassroots members who believe in and have sacrificed remarkably to the party in the state. It is a common saying that ‘it is better to go to war with fewer loyal and committed soldiers than a numerous and uncommitted number of soldiers.’ It is on this premise that we, the under-signed executives of the Southern Ijaw APC hereby suspend them indefinitely from the party.
“Cases of other members who were involved in anti-party activities are being investigated and consequential actions shall be taken against them in due course,” the suspension notice read.
For the Ekeremor LGA, the Party Chairman, Senator Mitin Eniekenimi, while reading the suspension notice said “the Minister for State Petroleum Resources, Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri and his followers have been involved in anti-party activities since the 2019 gubernatorial election when he sought to be the standard bearer of the party’s flag but the party members did not support his ambition, hence he lost out and started working against the party, using his supporters to institute cases in court against the party and also establishing a factional State Secretariat of the party at the Isaac Boro Expressway, Biogbolo, Yenagoa.
The suspension notice further read in part;
“In the 2023 gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State, he led a group of disgruntled party members to openly support and work for Gov. Douye Diri of the People’s Democratic Party and was compensated by the PDP-led government of Bayelsa State. His personal Aide, Engr. Kharin Kumoko, was nominated by the Minister for State, Petroleum Resources, (Oil), Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri and appointed as the current Commissioner for Power in Bayelsa State.
“It is on record that from the day he was appointed as Minister, he has been fighting the party in Bayelsa state and has refused to make peace despite all entreaties. It is on this note that we, the under-signed executives of the Ekeremor local government area APC hereby suspend Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri and Engr. Kharin Kumoko indefinitely from the party.
“The Executive of the party in Ekeremor local government is still reviewing other cases of anti-party activities done by other party faithful.

    TRAVELLERS HAIL PETER OBI, CALL HIM “OUR PRESIDENT” AS HE CLEARS TRAFFIC IN KOGI According to an eyewitness, there had been a road block caused by angry trailer drivers and this caused traffic that extended severai miles.

    CONSTITUENTS MOVE TO RECALL HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER, UGOCHINYERE, LAUD GOV UZODINMA

    CONSTITUENTS MOVE TO RECALL HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER, UGOCHINYERE, LAUD GOV UZODINMA Community and political stakeholders of Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State, have express dissatisfaction with the incumbent member representing the constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Ugochinyere Micheal Ikeagwonu. They accused the lawmaker of being indifferent to the constituency’s plight, choosing instead, to focus on personal political interests and unwarranted attacks on the the state governor, Hope Uzodinma During a reception organized by the people to appreciate the governor’s intervention in addressing a severe erosion menace that threatened to disconnect the federal constituency from the rest of the state, a motion was moved for the recall of Hon. Ikeagwonu. Hon. Okechukwu Udenze, the representative for Ideato North in the Imo State House of Assembly, moved the motion for the recall of the federal legislator, which received overwhelming support from the people and political leaders in attendance. The constituency and its leaders lauded Governor Uzodinma for his swift action in awarding the project for the control of the erosion to Craneburg, a renowned construction company, and ensuring that work commenced without delay. They noted that despite the constituency having previously produced a governor, a senator, and numerous federal lawmakers, it was under Uzodinma’s administration that a meaningful intervention was made to address the long-standing erosion crisis. The Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers, led by their chairman, Eze Ewuzie, received the governor and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people. In their speeches, stakeholders emphasized the governor’s selflessness and commitment to the welfare of the people, pointing out that he has no political agenda since he is not running for any office at present. The move, they said, demonstrated Uzodinma’s dedication to good governance and fair leadership, untainted by political motives. Among the dignitaries present at the event were Hon. Ijeoma Arodiogbu, the Southeast chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Hon Ikechukwu Umeh, Imo APC Organizing Secretary, Hon. Nkechi Ugwu, the Commissioner for Women Affairs; the executive chairmen of Ideato North and South, Hon. Chinonso Okparaeke and Hon. Okechukwu Okwara; as well as vice chairmen and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) chairmen of Ideato North and South. The ceremony concluded with a call for greater unity among the people of Ideato Federal Constituency as they work together to ensure the continued progress and development of the area, with leaders urging all to remain committed to the task of rebuilding and advancing the constituency.
