The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP National Legal Adviser, Mr. Emmanuel Enoidem, has accused Ndutimi Alaibe, the failed PDP Governorship aspirant of Bayelsa State of running away from the state over purported insecurity.
Enoidem was reacting to approval granted by the Chief Judge for the transfer of Alaibe’s suit challenging the emergence of Senator Douye Diri in the November 16 election to Abuja.
This follows the ruling in a suit by governorship aspirant that the case would no longer be heard at the Federal High Court, Yenagoa.
“Why is he running away? Is this not the state he wanted to govern? Why is he afraid of the state? Anyway, the people of Bayelsa State but are not afraid of insecurity,” he pointed out.
Announcing her decision to comply with the directive, Jane Inyang, presiding Judge, said the plaintiff did not question the credibility of the court in Yenagoa, but cited security concerns in the state.
Meanwhile, despite the legal battle between Alaibe and Diri the election campaign in Bayelsa State has kicked off.
Governor Seriake Dickson described the duo of Douye Diri and Lawrence Erujakpo of the PDP as the Governorship ticket of stability, experience and prosperity in Bayelsa.
Presenting the Governorship candidate, Senator Douye Diri and his running mate, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo at the official flag-off campaign, the Governor enjoined people of the state to vote for consolidation for growth and development.
