Alaibe in a statement issued in the early hours of Wednesday said the
 decision to withdraw from the contest was in the interest of the party 
especially as it face the task of the common challenge of unseating the 
PDP in the state come December 5 He said, “It is with all nostalgia that I recall the zeal, enthusiasm
 and hope with which thousands of Bayelsans made a statement in the 
direction of change in August, 2015. I can also vividly recall a mental 
replay of the occasion wherein a qualitative representation of the 
leadership of our great party, the All Progressives Congress ( APC) 
ushered in respected leaders and members from their then party, Peoples 
Democratic Party ( PDP) .Former Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission NDCC, 
Timi Alaibe has withdrawn from the primary of the All Progressives 
Congress in Bayelsa State.“That singular event has been phenomenal just as its true meaning and
 direction have all exuded confidence, unity of purpose, cohesion, 
collectivism and courage. That day undoubtedly marked the beginning of a
 people’s journey from hopelessness and squandry as enunciated by the 
accidental PDP-led ‎government in Bayelsa state to that of quality 
leadership that an APC government will represent.“As one of such leaders who took that historic decision, I thought of
 giving a further bite to my burning desire to extricate the state from‎
 abysmal leadership failure. Therefore, my aspiration to be governor 
after series of consultations was to rekindle our collective hope and 
lift the state beyond its current state of decay under the PDP.“Regardless, I am not oblivious of the fundamental fact that we all 
need a virile, united, cohesive and collaborative APC to bring about our
 desires to fruition. Not only do we need this, APC deserves every 
sacrifice, including personal interests, to arrive at the envisaged 
destination come February, 2016.“This is more so that both as individual leaders and as a party, the 
need to avoid the a situation of crisis that the PDP might inadvertently
 reap from cannot be over emphasised.“As a result, having carefully examined the circumstances that have 
trailed the Governorship primaries of our great party in Bayelsa state, I
 have come to the conclusion that pushing my governorship mbition 
beyond this point carries alongside it some collateral consequences.“Succinctly, two options are available to me. Whereas I am confident 
that I have the required support of my admirers and supporters‎ as well 
as the needed backing of Bayelsans to govern them, the hurdles set on 
the way of this noble project are seemingly temptous and capable of 
overheating the APC in Bayelsa.“In another vein, the virtuous path to take is that virtuous one in 
which personal interest are sacrificed for the common good,whether for 
the APC or the state in general. This is the path I chose in the light 
of the prevailing circumstances. I therefore withdraw from the 
governorship primary contest.“This decision is taken in the interest of our party especially as we
 face the task of the common challenge‎ of unseating the PDP in the 
state come December 5.”

APC Condemned Wilson’s Abduction.

The All Progressive Congress, Bayelsa State chapter, has asked the Peoples Democratic Party to look inwards for the perpetrators of kidnap incidents ravaging the state.

The party spoke in Yenagoa on Thursday following an allegation of the PDP Youth Vanguard, that APC was responsible for the Wednesday’s abduction of Fyneman Wilson, the Special Adviser to Governor Seriake Dickson on Political Matters.

The APC condemned Wilson’s abduction and sympathised with his family.

However, the party alleged that notorious kidnappers were not just members of the PDP but were also holding political offices in Government House.

The state Secretary of the APC, Mr. Marlin Daniel, argued that the kidnapping of Wilson must have arisen from the statements credited to former President Goodluck Jonathan at the Dickson’s formal declaration for a second term.

Describing Jonathan as a huge disappointment to Nigeria and Bayelsa, Daniel said the former President foreclosed the ambitions of other PDP aspirants by undemocratically asking persons who bought forms in PDP to forget their aspirations and support Dickson.He said the provocative statement of Jonathan might have compelled the supporters of the aggrieved aspirants to engage in criminal and violent protest.

He said the APC was too busy preparing for its primary election and too responsible to engage in criminality.

Daniel said the abducted victim is politically infinitesimal to be considered a threat to the march by the APC to win the December 5 governorship election.
