The meeting aimed to resolve the internal strife caused by the suspension of key stakeholders from Southern Ijaw, Ekeremor, Sagbama, and Yenagoa local government areas. Among those previously suspended were notable figures like Senator Lokpobiri and Chief David Lyon, the party’s former gubernatorial candidate in the 2019 election.

During a press conference on October 15 at the APC secretariat in Yenagoa, a communique was issued. Signed by Chief Dennis Otiotio-Odoni, the state chairman, and Acting State Secretary Owutuamo Tamaranpreye, the statement confirmed that the suspensions were rescinded following a request from the minority caucus of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly and extensive discussions within the party. The communique indicated that the ratification of the suspensions would be deferred for further consultations with key stakeholders.

Additionally, the extended executive committee and the APC Assembly Caucus condemned the recent actions of Bayelsa Commissioner for Power, Mr. Kharin Kumoku, who allegedly led an attempted attack on the APC state secretariat. The party called on Governor Douye Diri to address the matter by reprimanding the commissioner and urged both the Commissioner of Police, Francis A. Idu, and the state Director of the DSS to investigate the incident.

The Bayelsa APC reaffirmed its commitment to democratic values and expressed its intent to resolve conflicts through constructive dialogue. The party also encouraged members and stakeholders to maintain decorum, emphasizing the importance of unity for the party’s success in the state.
