A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, Hon. Sunday Frank Oputu, has said a repeat of what happened to the party in Zamfara
and Rivers State in 2019, where the court disqualified the party from contesting in the general elections due to their primaries, is imminent in the state.
But Oputu, who is also a chairmanship aspirant of the faction loyal to former Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, said all that the other faction did to elect members of the SEC was just an exercise in futility. He said, “As we are all aware there’s a subsisting court order, that is why we didn’t join in the state congress because we have to obey the order by the court which is reserved for judgment and no pronouncement has been made yet, so ahead with a Congress is of no use.”
“Are Sylva and his cohort also aware that their lawyer denied holding congresses at the wards and LGA level in their brief of argument because we filed for contempt? We filed for contempt that they disobeyed the court order by going ahead to conduct congress, but in his brief argument, he said they didn’t do any congress so they didn’t fault, that they are still seeking the court to vacate the order. So if such an issue is still pending why go-ahead to conduct a congress.
