The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended twelve of
its chieftains in Bayelsa State.

A former Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural
Development, former governorship aspirant in the last election, Senator
Heineken Lokpobiri, are among the suspended party bigwigs.

The party also suspended a former governorship aspirant in
the State and a former member of the President Buhari Campaign Council, Preye
Aganaba, and State Deputy Chairman, Orubebe Ogeibiri.

Others are a former member of the House of Representative
and the Director-General of the Lokpobiri Governorship Campaign Organization,
Hon. Warman Ogoriba, a former member of the Board of Trustee of the Party, Hon.
Perez Peretu, Hon. Sunday Frank-Oputu, a former House of Representative
aspirant, Hon Osom Blackson, Samuel Aredeh, Ebierein Falla Itubo, Pius Otia and
a former Publicity Secretary of the Party, Hon. Fortune Panebi.

The state party chairman, Hon Jonathan Amos and the State
Secretary, Hon. Alabo Martins led over 27 signatories of the State Executive
Committee of the State chapter of the As party to sign the suspension which has
also been forwarded to the National Vice Chairman of the party, South-south,
Chief Ntufam Hilliard Eta.

Doifie Ola Buokoribo, the Spokesperson of the party in a
statement issued on Thursday in Yenagoa the stated capital on Thursday, said
that the suspension of Lokpobiri and the others followed the recommendation of
the fact-finding and disciplinary committee inaugurated on 31st of July, 2019
and in accordance with article 21(B) and (D) of the APC constitution.

The statement added, ”The committee objectively looked into
the several allegations of anti-party activities levelled against them that ran
contrary to the provision of the APC constitution, morally and a good
conscience which brought about great electoral misfortune for the party.

“The action was to set clear signals to deviants
masquerading in the party especially those working against its collective
interest and aspirations.

“We, however, thank Bayelsans and its numerous supporters
for keeping faith with the party and for the above solidarity during and after
the November 16, 2019, governorship election.”
